Why I Do Not Have To Own Every Good Thing
Author: siggyI do not have to own every good thing that comes my way. With some things it is very difficult: I collect music and books. There is always another interesting book and another new piece of music I desire.
The trick is to be happy with what you have and occasionally when something comes your way, be happy. One reason coveting is wrong there is no end to it and being perennially dissatisfied is one result.
There is a certain freedom to saying “No!” to good things and there is even another result: more and more you let the universe surprise you when something good falls in your lap.
When you make a conscious effort to be satisfied with your possessions, you allow serendipity and gratitude to enter your life. And peace and contentment may also follow.
