Be Satisfied with What You Have

This blog is about Chapter 2 of 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life by Joyce Meyer.

I all too often find myself trying too hard to get the things I want that I forget what I already have. When I get new things, I am happy and excited for a while, but then I think about the next thing I think I must have.

This chapter explained that we need to learn how to be content with what we have, because when we are happy with what we have, life is so much more simple (not to mention we have less clutter in our rooms/homes!).

As I write this blog, I'm looking around my room and seeing just how much I have. A lot of my things I can't take with me when I move, and I have come to realize that I really do have too much. This past few months, since I've been getting ready to move, I've been learning to loosen my grip on the possessions I have.

I guess I ought to pray to God that He help me learn to be content with the things I have, and to let go of the things that are no longer useful to me.
