If you had all of the above, would you be satisfied and fulfilled? What would you add to the list? What do you have in abundance from the list above? What are you lacking? What is the most important to you? Are you close to having them all? It has been said that if you are broke, than money is all you think about. The same has been said about love. Do you find this to be true?

I would be reasonably fulfilled but I would add faith to the list. I have love in abundance from the list and I'm lacking financial security. The most important from the list you have written is Health followed closely by Love, because I really think love is more important but what good would it be without health? It's not necessarily true that if you are broke, money is all you think about. I'm pretty broke, but I don't think about money, I think about what I can do with what I have. Not everybody is the same though. I think about love most of the time anyway, even though i have a lot of it in my heart, so no, that's not necessarily true either.

I agree with you regarding faith. And you make an excellent point about working with what you have. What other sensible choice is there? I'm delighted to hear that you have a lot of love in your heart. That's wonderful.

Thank you very much, Hart. I think if you learn to love yourself, then you can love others equally and the likelihood is that most of the others will give you love back. :-) Brightest Blessings my friend.

We are managing :-) The one thing that is not on your list that I would have to have on mine is children. I would never have been content to have a life without at least one child. They are the greatest blessing that has been bestowed upon me. I am sure, like 'if you are broke, than money is all you think about', had I been childless I would have thought of nothing but.

Oh, most definitely. There is no greater blessing. It is often said that the love a parent has for a child is unparelelled.
