Why is it that some people who seem to have it all, always want more. I mean how much money, power, love, etc...can one have?
I guess its something hard wired(especially in Americans) to consume everything in our path, whether we need it or not. I personally have a lot more in my life than ever before, but for some mysterious reason, I'll gamble even when I shouldnt. What about y'all are you happy with what you have?

I am mostly happy with what I have, infact I am blessed to have a wonderful husband that works really hard for my son and I. Even though I feel like its enough, sometimes I don't and maybe its because I get greedy or proud and want more if I see others that have more.
I don't like it when my family gloat about things they have or have done as sometimes they look down on us and that really upsets me. I try to prove them wrong, but in the end I'm like, why do I need to do that? let them gloat, so what? I have my husband, I have my son, and most importantly I have my life and am happy at the same time. Sometimes I have to keep telling myself that and keep on doing what I do do well and improve on the things that I don't do well in, and that it's ok if it doesn't work out. (sorry for babbling on - i hope i made sense).

Satisfaction. People are born without it, at least that's what I think. Personally, I'm not happy with what I have right now, I don't think I ever will be. People have endless needs, once we get something we want, another comes around for us to obsess upon yet again. Though this is the case, I still believe that we can have it all, but not all at the same time. =)

As for me , I'm not at all happy with what
I have . it's not because that I want more , but I have never been provided with what I need to have in life.
