The wisdom of Goethe

Wolfgang Goethe was a famous German philosopher who gave us quite an impressive and useful recipe of how we can gain true happiness in our lives. He listed these 9 ingredients which are easily attainable if we really want to be happy always:

1. Strength enough so that you can work effectively and efficiently.

2. Wealth enough to cover your basic needs for survival.

3. Will-power enough to overcome your difficulties.

4. Grace enough to confess your sins and forget about them.

5. Patience enough to persevere in your endeavors as you try to help others.

6. Charity enough to recogize the good there is in others.

7. Love enough to motivate you to always be on the alert to help your neighbor.

8. Faith enough to do all this for the love of God.

9. Hope enough to get rid of all fear and anxiety about the future.
