I'm not a big Sheryl Crow fan but she has one line in one song that I really like: It's not having what you want. It's wanting what you've got.
That's good stuff.
We tend, even if subtly, to want for the new car, a nicer body, more money, a more fitting spouse, another helping of food, a different feeling inside and the list goes on.
The reality is that the hole, that has you unsatisfied with what you've already got, will be there--more powerfully mind you, when your sexy body is enjoying another slice of pizza driving the new Audi alongside your perfect mate.
You don't soothe for long or really help a spoiled kid by giving him a new game for his PS2. You exacerbate the problem.
Go! Earn a lot of money, accumulate--whatever! But first work to change your heart and learn to be full of gratitude and appreciation for what you already have. You might just find your 'needs' changing too.
Peace,
RR
