We are always aiming to get more of what we already have; this is
integrated into our human nature, we always want more stuff; we want more money, more possessions, better health, better relationships, faster, smarter!!!
Is there something wrong with wanting more in life? Is there something
wrong from that little list I gave you?
There is nothing wrong with seeking better health, relationships, wisdom, etc.
However, there are two points from the previous list, “Money” and “Possession”, which almost belong to the same category; they should be discussed separately.
Money plays a great role when you have a sick parent, or you are struggling to pay the bills, or someone close to you is asking for help, if you are thinking about starting your own company, etc.
Possessions also play a significant role in our life, owning a car if you are a taxi driver, having a PC if you work in tech, or owning a house where you and your family live (assets are needed).
However, sometimes we try to get more money to buy devices we don’t need, even borrowing money to buy expensive luxuries that don’t add value to our life; sometimes we may seek possessions for superficial reasons as well; ask yourself how many possessions many people have that they don’t use. How many possessions do you have now that you don’t use?
Although you may think this message may not apply to people who are struggling to make money who are breaking even and apply more to people “who already made it” in life, the truth is that we have to realize this the sooner, the better, the earlier on our carrier, the earlier on our journey.
