There's No Harm In
"Treating Ourselves"

“You might not have the things
you want,
but if you check carefully
you got all you need”
What is a
want?
What is a
need?
A ‘want’ is something that we
desire or would like.
A ‘need’ is something that we
cannot live without.
For example,
we need to eat and drink
because our ‘physical’ bodies
need these things.
“But I’ve only got fruit in the fridge
and I’d much rather have a burger”.
Can you see the difference?
I know that you can.
The difficulty comes
when we look around society
and see what society
‘expects’
us to have,
but do not necessarily need.
New and exciting ‘items’
are constantly coming out,
which all look so ‘Important’ to have,
but do we really
“need” them?
A phone is a necessity in Life today,
but do I really need
the latest ‘all singing and all dancing’ one?
These latest technological items
cost money and are often expensive,
and we could put ourselves into debt
trying to ‘have them’,
which will only cause us
to worry and stress.
It makes more sense
to be Happy with what we have
and save the money.
Look around your home
and just check
that you have everything
that you need.
Even make a list
and check it off as you go.
You’ll probably be surprised
at what you do actually have.
And here is where
Appreciation
comes into play.
However,
there is no harm
in “treating” ourselves,
now and then.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
