3) Finding value in what you're doing right now.
Life should be like running a profitable business, which you know will not last forever. The point of your business is giving a value to your customers today. Eventually a competing business will cater better to your customers' needs and put you out of business. This doesn't take away the value you've given your customers, nor the money you made.
Going one step further, the business does not even need to be profitable. You can find value in activities which are economically and socially useless most of the time, like art for example.

"On a grand scale we simply want to save the world, so obviously we're just letting ourselves in for a lot of disappointment and we're doomed to failure since we didn't pick some cheap-ass two-bit goal like collecting all the Garbage Pail Kids cards." -- http://www.subgenius.com/bigfist/answers/rants/X0044_Subject_Nenslo.html http://www.subgenius.com/bigfist/answers/rants/X0044_Subject...
