- who has no bucket list;
- who has learned to be content with his circumstances, yet who takes responsibility for improving them;
- who does not need thrills, especially ever increasing thrills, to find meaning or satisfaction in life;
- who loves his country and community and seeks to improve them by serving them;
- who seeks to provide daily bread for himself and his family, to the best of his strength, gifts, and talents; and when he can do that helps out some others who can't;
- who wakes up one morning and realizes, "This is my life, for the rest of my life," and realizes that's okay, he can live with that.
"I am afraid of...growing old too soon, of having my body worn out before my soul is past childhood...I shiver at the thought of losing my strength before I have found [it]; to have my senses fail ere I have a stock of rational pleasures, my blood cold ere my heart is warmed with virtue! Strange, to look back on a train of years that have passed, 'as an arrow through the air,' without leaving any mark behind them, without our being able to trace them in our improvement!" John Wesley
