So what are the techniques? This is what I don't have. Tools and techniques. I am very ungrounded.

Indeed I believe that science will eventually give us the chance to live as much as we want (though not forever), and it is a shame we will be dead before that. Nonetheless I believe intelligence will not give us eternal life. I believe there are some universal rules which cannot bet broken.
Regarding the question of OP, I think about the value of my work. I believe it is work what gives life purpose. Through my work, I will give future generations a gift and a legacy. This idea of leaving a legacy also helps me endure almost any hardship. A man worth admiring shound not only leave a scientific or artistic legacy, but also a life worthy of admiration, which inspire the future generations.
I think that one way or another, pain is part of life. And we cannot completely avoid it. Nonetheless there are things that make us better and improve our lives. We should follow those things. I recommend all the volumes of Robert Ingersoll. His way of writing is very inspiring.
What is your work? I do not have a life's work and definitely need a passion like that.
Do you have some sort of thing you want to create and share with people? It can be scientific or art related.
