Enjoy what you have

How many times have you been struck by if
only it is? If only I had a convertible,
I would be happy. If only I could get that job,
I know I would feel fulfilled. If only he would
love me, I would never need anything again.
Concentrating on what you want but don't have
robs you of the joy you could be experiencing
right now.

Part of the purpose of life is learning to be
content with what you have. It is okay to want
to reach for something more, as long as that
something more doesn't make you lose out on
the now.
