“There are two ways to be rich – the first is to acquire more, the second is to desire less.”
In every good spiritual or psychological teaching, we learn that the ability to appreciate what is,
is the only thing that can truly give us a sense of abundance.
Today, I want to take this idea further:
Not only does acquiring and accumulating more not necessarily make us more satisfied, but in excessive amounts, the pursuit of abundance can even diminish our quality of life.
Just as an excess of food leads to obesity and health problems, an excess of possessions, experiences, information, etc. can harm our mental well-being.
In the modern era, people suffer from various forms of “over consumption” without realizing that it negatively impacts their happiness. They fail to understand that the foundation of happiness is, first and foremost, organizing life in a way that aligns with how our brain is naturally designed.
The year 2024 is about to end and thus we need to learn how to let go and ‘close’ this year and start fresh. focus and determined for the next year!
I wish you an happy new year!
