The poor man lacks much, the greedy man lacks EVERYTHING!

in #blog7 years ago

The poor man lacks a lot. He does not enjoy a luxurious lifestyle and may not even have a roof over his head. But the greedy man can still get worse.

We have grown up in a consumer society.

All you have to do is look at the ads and advertisements that surround you. The latest mobile phone, the car that nobody has yet ...

What you already have is certainly enough. But you want more and more and you do not appreciate what you have.

The greedy person is missing things because he can not see what he has

We think we need things because that's how we've learned to think. The car that just came out has something that your car does not have. It may be the least, totally unimportant thing, but we think we need it.

We are self-centered and have a competitive mind. We may feel satisfied when we get this new thing, but are we happy?

The poor are. It does not matter to them that they live on the streets without anything to eat. Are they sad sometimes? Of course!

We are emotional beings, and although everything goes well, we have all our downsides.

Despite all this, the poor, however, know true happiness because they have learned to appreciate the little things they have.

On the other hand, we see people every day who have millions and many of us want us to be them.

You can buy everything and there will still be more back to buy. Sometimes, however, you throw away your money because that's all you can do to stop thinking about the state of mind you are in.

Hope and the desire to have more things will not make you happy; It will remove your gaze from what really deserves your attention: your inner self.

There is no better teacher than life itself.

There is no better teacher than life itself

You may already know all this, but you continue to stumble across the same stone. But at any rate you end up learning something.

There is no better teacher than life itself.

Think of all the times we learned to see what we had after we lost it. Plus, that will probably not be the last time.

Let's think of all the clothes we bought and how bad we were when we came home and looked at our empty wallet.

We do things without thinking because we do not observe, we just see.

Every time you wish you had a different life, you discount everything you have achieved and all the people who have been there along the way.

You are actually already happy. But you're looking for reasons not to be.

I am happy i have luxury problems :-) i came cross this picture on fb, not mine but also let me stand still

Like that one, Thank you!!

Well said my friend. I always keep the notion that to be content, you must first appreciate what you have. I also feel like when you do have a positive vybe about life, more things and opportunities come your way.
