Survival Strategies...

I think these lines are more apt than any other for a contented life.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot
The world forgetting by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
Each prayer accepted n each wish resigned

Lines 207-210
Eloisa and Abelard, Alexander Pope

Well these lines are also the cornerstone of one of my most favorite movies.
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
