In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it: they must not do too much of it: and they must have a sense of success in it --not a doubtful sense, such as needs some testimony of others for its confirmation, but a sure sense, or rather knowledge, that so much work has been done well, and fruitfully done, whatever the world may say or think about it.

If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be happy and eventful.

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you've found it.
