What Do You Want?

There are many things that each of us want. Some of us have more wants than others. If we have many wants, and they're not being obtained, we become very discouraged. Fulfillment is difficult when we live a life of high expectations and wants that are not being met.

The trick is to either diminish our wants or augment our means. A person who has realistic wants and expectations will be far more happy and fulfilled in life. "You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you need"(Vernon Howard).

Take stock today of your current wants and expectations. If you have been unhappy with life, it may be because you want and expect too much from yourself, others around you, and life in general. Try lowering your expectations. Happiness and fulfillment will be yours if you are content with where you're at and what you have.

"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get" (Hayden).
