The Need for MORE

If I had more ( fill in the blank ), all my problems would be solved.

This philosophy is a cognitive error. Whatever word you choose to fill in the blank will not give you long term happiness. Happiness comes from consistent healthy living.

Examine your thoughts in the moments of challenge. Which of these “inner needs” pulls you out of alignment with your best self?

The need for MORE…

Money (possessions)

Respect

Authority

Appreciation

Validation

Help

When we look for meaningfulness outside of what we have control over and in external ways, we pull ourselves out of our values and feed our ego. Notice what you envy. Observe the beliefs that grow your frustration rather than your peace. Replace that scarcity with abundance.

Instead choose:

Peace

Patience

Joy

Kindness

Self control

Purpose

Resilience

…or a virtue that makes you healthy! Be your best today and everyday!
