Possession

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.  Epicurus

When we allow what we don't have to get in the way of what we already possess we take the chance on missing out on something better.  (You may have to read that sentence twice.)  We can get so caught up in desiring things or events or whatever that we think we need that we miss something that would really bless us.  We can allow what we think we want or need to cloud our vision from what would really enrich our lives.  Sometimes on a surface level I think I want *this* but along comes *that* and I find that it is actually what I had been hoping for all along.  Let your core speak to you.  Listen harder to what your spirit is telling you, chances are it knows what you really want and need much better than you do on the surface of your life where media, peer pressure, and entitlement get in the way and throw us off course.
