Do you want what you have? Or do you feel constantly pulled to something else, something “more?”
Many of us learn to construct a clear and precise vision of what we want, but we’re never taught how to enjoy what we actually have. There will always be more victories to strive for, more strangers to charm, more images to collect and pin to our vision boards. It’s hard to want what we have; it’s far easier to want everything in the world.
— Heather Havrilesky
You live in a culture and a time when billions of dollars are spent on creating and manipulating a sense of lack in everyone.
A culture and a world where consumption of goods and services is the economy.
The focus is always on trying to “have what you want.”
It’s easy to see why you can get caught up in looking for something more.
Faster?
Ask people how to get ahead in a race and they’ll say some variation of “go faster.”
That thinking gets carried over into how people live and work. Do more. Go faster. Hurry. Hustle.
That takes you farther and farther away from being present in this moment.
Sarah Stockdale of Growclass said it this way –
“There was a time in all of our lives when we desperately wanted what we have right the fuck now.”
Take time to celebrate what you have and have done. Claim the wins.
Stop and be in this moment. Want what you have, not what you lack.
You can do this. I can help.
