Discrimination' between what is eternal and what is ephemeral

'Discrimination' between what is eternal and what is ephemeral;
'Dispassion' to reject that which is ephemeral in order to gain that which is eternal;
'Discipline' of the mind to divert it from trivial or ephemeral pursuits in life in order to conserve the energy to pursue that which is eternal; and, finally,
'Desire' strong enough to motivate one in that pursuit without getting discouraged by any type of obstacles that arise.
