There have been times in my life when resources were little, yet happiness was abundant. At this time in my life, resources are far more plentiful and happiness is still there. I try to think of material means as simply a tool that we all use to assist us and others, but that is in no way connected to the happiness factor. Always being content with what I have at this time in my life is something that allows me to look at the more important aspects of true happiness - the realization of that we are all connected.
