DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS NECESSARY VERSUS WHAT IS DESIRABLE? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 68

The basics all humans need are food, water,shelter, and clothing  All else are things we want, and over time we have become a society of consumers.  Somehow we allow our wants to become needs.  We no longer base our spending decisions on what is necessary versus what is desirable, and this change has led thousands of people into major credit card debt.  If you are one of those people, then perhaps it is time for you to take a step back, survey all that you have, question all that you feel you are "missing", and determine if those things are truly essential or just things it might be nice to have.

While there are millions of people suffering from horrific poverty, lack of clean water, and insufficient nutrition there are millions of us who are much more fortunate.  Rarely do we have everything we want, but usually we have everything we need.

Today's message is:

I HAVE WHAT I NEED!
