In my quest to attain more, I have continually realized I have more than enough (sometimes it took time and perspective to see the validity of that within certain circumstances.).
That’s not an excuse to stop dreaming, but to dream without the burden of a lack-tainted focus.
Quite so.
Sort of on this subject, there is an English translation of a Chinese proverb:
‘May all your dreams but one become true’
(I daresay there’s been a great deal more lost in translation)
I’m gonna forgo the opportunity to pass myself off as wise and incisive and ask the dumb question: What’s the one dream?
Ah grasshopper (I’ve been saving that these passed 45 years now).
It should be that you are always reaching to attain. For if you have nothing left to attain you become stagnant. Therefore one dream, always should you have. Not so is it?
(OK so I switched roles – sue me already,)
Too true! And when I’ve gotten exactly what I’ve wanted, there are many times I’ve found ways to be discontent even in those moments.
I’ve always found the less needful I am, the more content I am. That doesn’t mean that I don’t desire things. Just that I put it all in a better perspective. You summed it up better than I could have. Thanks.
I agree with you. Most people divide it into cravings vs happiness, but I think that’s a false dichotomy.
