Here is a verse that I live by

Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, minding your own business and to work with your hands, just as we  told  you  before, in that way you will not  be wanting for money to pay  your  bills and will have the respect of  people who are  not  Christians

Quite life ..... be happy

minding your own business....... don't let others run or try to run your life, its your own life so you can make your own choices.

Work with your hands........ be happy in what you do

You will  always  have  the  right  amount  of  money, not  too much, not  too little

And  other  people will respect  your  wisdom  that  comes  with  living a  long  life.
