In conversation with a friend last night, we developed a fourfold list of precepts that, if held together (in partial tension, for sure), will lead to a happy life:
- Give thanks in all circumstances.
- Do what you’re doing. Don’t worry about the rest.
- Follow the impulses of your eyes and the desires of your heart, yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.
- It’s a fact that you will not accomplish and experience all the things you want to before you die.
