Philippians 4:11: Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Certainly a worthy goal - one more thing that makes people like the apostles Paul and Grant that much more worthy of emulation: they truly point us to Christ. Thanks for the quote and the commentary, Ben. cf. Philippians 4:11:

(stuff = car crash, break-up, death, decay, fire and brimstone, lost marbles, burnt hamburger, or whatever) It's worked for me. Also, I suggest reading As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. It is probably the best essay I've read. Basically, I’ve summed up life thus; stuff can happen and you can be happy or stuff can happen and you can be miserable, either way, stuff happens.
