Want What You Have

The best way to have what you want; is to want what you have.

Why are we always looking for something better, faster, or bigger than what we already have? Isn't that what has got us in this huge financial mess? I am certainly no economist but I would say that is definitely one of the main contributing factors. In fact, I would go out on a huge limb and say that as a society, we are so consumed with what we want next that we ignore or simply forget all the magnificence that surrounds us.

Want what you have…that's quite the interesting concept. If you do not want what you have, take action to change it while appreciating all that is around you. Be grateful for all that you do have. There are millions of people that would simply love to live with a roof over their head.

I also think this quote also relates to the non-material aspect of life as well…relationships, partners, our own self-esteem.

There is nothing wrong with striving for greatness in life. I love that in America if you can dream it, it can happen. It is only when we start living with the narrow focus on “things” or what we want next, that we forget how fortunate we really are.

Shine ON!
