Daily Inspirational Quote – March 29, 2015

“If we do not feel grateful for what we already have, what makes us think we’d be happy with more?”

We live in a society that seems to put great store by what people have rather than what they actually need. Everything appears to be geared at encouraging us to buy stuff we don’t really need just for the sake of it and to make somebody else very wealthy or even wealthier. We’re very much unaware of the constant bombardment of advertising that we are exposed to every single day because it’s become part of our daily lives so we’ve become accustomed to it.  However, step back from it all. Take the time to think about it. Why aren’t we satisfied with what we already have? Should we really believe all the hype we’re being told? Why do we let them convince us to believe we need more “stuff” to make us happy? We don’t, we really don’t.
