There are a lot of things in life that we want, but not all of them are things we actually need. People confuse need with want all the time and that often leads to chaos in their public and private lives. They make choices that negatively impact them.
It's really our fault when this kind of thing happens and we can't place responsibility on anyone but ourselves for it all. Try to be aware of this wen you find yourself in such a situation.
There are times when we are the victims of our own choices. We spend more than we earn, we choose fattening foods over healthy ones, we cheat instead of staying faithful and we lounge instead of exercise.
Make the choice to be satisfied with what you have. It takes courage to live simply when there is so much excess out there. Living simply doesn't mean a life of deprivation and boredom. It is just requires an effort to not compare yourself or possessions to others.
If you can't afford something, don't buy it or budget for it if you truly must have it. Live within your means and you will feel a sense of stability and control. True happiness doesn't come from what we acquire, it comes from within.
It's natural to strive for more and to want what's new and exciting. Everyone feels that urge to acquire, but not everyone acts on it. Keeping those desires in check will help you focus on more important things.
We don't have to fall victim to our impulses. You can appreciate material objects without having to own them. The things we want don't have any control over us. We can control what we do and our perceptions.
When it comes down to it, we are our own master. We have control over ourselves and the actions we take. If we let ourselves be influenced by outside forces we will suffer. If you live your life within your means, control your impulses, and appreciate others you will reap the benefits.
