Take a second to think about it...are you really happy with what you have? Everything?
I find we all too often are not happy with what we have.
curly haired girls are always wishing they had straighter/less frizzy hair
straight hair girls are forever wishing they had at least some curls.
boys...well I don't really know what boys want...a different body type? more...or maybe less facial hair?...boys confuse me...
but anyway its not just in looks and bodily things...it also in possessions, careers, relationships...you name it ...you just want more ...like in this commercial, which says it all
We are unhappy when we can't have the best phone, the biggest house, the best computer...and when we do get something we want, we want the next biggest thing immediately. We don't take any time to enjoy what we have. We want all of the accessories, the latest gadgets, we just always want what we perceive to be better.
Why?
Why do we not take time to be happy with what we have? Why do we not realize what we do have?
I almost never find myself going "well you know I just have a great phone here, it does everything I need it to do without costing a fortune."
No. More often I find myself saying "Well, I have a dumb phone, it doesn't go online, it doesn't have snap chat and it cannot check the weather." ...never-mind the fact that I have a computer that can do pretty much all of that stuff on my desk just feet away from me.
We get too caught up in what is next...what is newest...what do my friends have that I do not?
STOP IT! just stop it right now! Look at what you have, is it pretty good? I'll bet you notice you actually have a lot. Complain about not having enough space in your closet? ...Look at all the clothes you have...it is a lot of clothes isn't it. Appreciate the clothes instead of hating the closet.
This doesn't mean you should never want more, or want better for yourself, but sometimes it is just a good thing to realize what you have.
