To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. - William Henry Channing

Sorry... I just wanted to bump this up. Five responses just isn't enough for me.
 Could be because this "symphony" is what I want to ultimately achieve in my life so ... hmmm... maybe I want more validation?

I'm glad that these words are helpful.
Yes, that first line is a doozy! Been there once or twice and would like to get back again... There's a fine line somewhere in there, though, between contentment and complacency. What do you think?

Dec, umm... why don't you join me now in the journey? None of the things mentioned in that poem can be accomplished overnight. Besides, we each have our own levels, our own balance, ya know? What suits me may very well not suit you.

Jax, I think most of us need to do that more often.
