'If you adjust what you want to what you can achieve, you will be happy with what you get.'
Often what people want is completely at odds with what they need. Getting what you want, but ignoring what you need can lead to an unhappy life.
If you have enough food, good shelter and people to love who love you, you have enough. Wanting more than that is one of the reasons for dissatisfaction in life. People living in the Western World are being conned by big business, and we're told we should get everything we want.
This is a thing that leads to happiness for big business perhaps, but not for ordinary people.
Being satisfied with simple things in your life can be the most wonderful feeling in the world. Those simple things can be precious to the person who can see their true value.
I'm satisfied with my family and friends, my dogs and the good food I have every day.
That is what I need in my life, and that is what I get.
I am a Happy Person!
