Im thinking I need to do better at being ok with the good stuff in my life and appreciate the possessions I have. Ive been thinking about buying a 3rd set of speakers and a really expensive set of headphones even tho i should be saving.
I realized today that I have an urge to get more and more stuff to feel better but when I really think about it I dont really need anything. Like mand wise people say… the ability to be content might be worth more than being rich…in some ways…
Anyways..are u guys content with what u have and how much do u appreciate the good things in your life? Today’s struggles made me realize its extremely easy to focus on all the things going wrong but what about the things thst are going well alongside the bad?
.likr thi a teacher I follow says..sometimes if we try ..we dont have to wait to be happy in some future where things are better. Maybe we can be happy with the small things….
I’m grateful for what I have. There are moments when I see something and think it’d be nice if I could afford to have it but it’s ok that I can’t.
I have great kids, a husband who loves me, family, a few friends, a home and a car.
So yeah, even though I live in a tight budget, and need to avoid spending money because both my husband and I are disabled, but that’s ok. I have people rather than things which matters way more than the next great thing to buy.
Thats really cool that you have those things that matter !!! I also have family and a good therapist but i do wish I had a little more of a support network.
I just played drums to George Benson‘s song Breezen. I’m happy I can play. I mean, I have time and energy to play and focus. I appreciate playing drums and trying to improve and learn. I appreciate my food and shelter my time to relax and do nothing. Just my energy to do things also when I need to do things. I appreciate my will in life, my intelligence my decisions. I appreciate all my opportunity in life. I appreciate my medication actually. I appreciate everything from food and shelter to having the opportunity to buy anything I want and need. I had all the opportunities in life I wanted and needed. I’m very thankful.
Sometimes all I want need is just a song. And this song made my day today.
