It's not having what you want, but wanting what you have...

it's a phrase found in the song "Soaking Up The Sun"...It's quite a simple phrase but it got me thinking...
Everytime we want something...a new shirt, new shoes, new TV, new
girlfriend, new life...anything...everything...
we have wish list, christmas list, new year list, birthday list...whatever list is there...
we want things in a terrifying rate...
the funny thing is once we got the thing we want, we want something
else and more often than not, we forgot about the first thing that
we want in the first place...
maybe we should try wanting what we have more...be content and
really appreciate and be grateful about the things we have...
I know human desire is an insatiable thing but aren't we all striving for self-control ? at least some of us...
so here's a suggestion...the next time you want something, think of
something you already have instead...and be thankful for it... :)
