I Want More

Has this phrase ever crossed your mind? Being a human, are we ever truly satisfied? I have to admit I'm rarely content with the possessions I've accomplished over the years. At times, I feel as though I've done extremely well for myself. I followed the advice of those that were concerned about my well being. I finished high school, went to college, obtained my degree, and stayed out of trouble.There isn't much that I haven't done to secure the good life. However, the lingering phrase I want more seems to remain in my daily thoughts. I often wonder why I haven't reached my ultimate goals. I basically know some of the obstacles that stand in my way. These are a never ending battle. Nevertheless, giving up on my dreams aren't an option. I feel that I will always want more. I'm thankful for what I've been blessed with thus far. I just can't shake wanting more of what I don't have. I will continue to strive until I can't muster anything else. I believe the want to get better keeps us all on our toes. Just maybe one day I'll realize that more isn't the solution.  Furthermore I have come to the conclusion, that the only true solution to this problem is to be content with what I have. I have to tune out the outside influences that initially make me want more. We all know that it is impossible to keep up with the Joneses. Therefore, I need to be happy with my own accomplishments.
