Accomplishing our Wants will Never Lead us to Happiness and Satisfaction

 Have you ever been discouraged because you can’t satisfy your wants? Have you ever longed at the idea of being content? I have, but I have been able to realize that contentment can never come from out wants. Our ‘wants’ in life whether they are goals we have set for ourselves, money, cars, an education or a family can never be the deciding factor for our happiness and satisfaction. We will always continue to have wants in life whether they get fulfilled or not. But by searching through our wants we will be able to understand what we really need in life. We will be able to discern our wants from our needs. When we are able to achieve this, we will finally be able to satisfy our cravings. We will be content. We will be comfortable. We will be relaxed. But most importantly, we will be happy. This is what we all strive for in life. Happiness is one of the most important role in all of our lives. If we are able to be happy in our doings we are much richer than those people who strive for all their lives trying to reach this state of happiness that we have been able to achieve.

“You can never get enough of what you don’t need because what you don’t need can’t satisfy you.”
