"We don't need to increase our goods
nearly as much as we need to scale down our wants. Not
wanting something is as good as possessing it."
~Donald Horban
Good morning!
How much
time and energy do you spend trying to attain
something, whether emotionally or physically, which
you believe you need in order to be happier, more
fulfilled or make life easier? Common examples of
where we get caught up in the "chase" include:
Believing
we need someone's approval
Believing
the next "planner" will organize our lives (instead
of organizing it ourselves)
Believing
that some better-than-botox cream will make us
beautiful
Believing
that our child needs a specific brand item or toy to
be happy
Believing
that we are responsible for "fixing" problems beyond
our control
Believing
that we are responsible for someone else's happiness
If I were
to stockpile all the time and energy I have put into
endeavors like these in the past, surely I could
take the month of April off -- and maybe May, too.
How freeing it can be to realize that maybe we don't
"need" everything we think we do--instead, what we
need to do is scale back on perceived needs.
Your Turn: Create a list of things you have
spent time and energy on that you felt you "needed."
What needs can you scale back on so that you can
enjoy today more?
Your affirmation: My energy and time are
spent only on life's true needs. |
