When you are grateful for what you have. When it is enough. Then you are rich, no matter how little you have. That’s what came to mind when I read the post David shared yesterday…
There is a hole inside of you.
It has been there for a long time, but by the time you graduate from college, you are acutely aware of this thing in your life that is missing. I don’t know what that is. It may involve a relationship, it may involve something regarding your health, or something troubling in your past. Trust me it does not matter how many degrees you get, you are never going to have a better past.
Or, maybe the hole in your life is a dream that just seems to keep alluding you. It’s not the same thing for all of us. The only thing that’s the same is that we are all missing something. Trust me on this, your future success depends completely on how you handle this hole in your life.

This reminds me of the Second Tenet of Buddhism: Suffering is caused by attachment and craving. That attachment may be to a person or a thing. No matter how much you get of the thing, there can never be enough. As we can see in the United States, we can never get enough. It is the ego that causes this desire for more and more and more. More money. More stuff. More love. More fame. You name it and we want it. The only way to achieve peace is to end the attachment. How do you do this? Through the Eightfold Path.

I am in two minds about this post. I agree that being contended with what I have leads me to a rich life. However, I also think that continual striving towards something better (including being better within myself) can also lead to a more fulfilling life.

I think being better in yourself is a great goal Elizabeth. I read this post and think it is talking about stuff, more than you need stuff. ❤
