Think More about What you Have
One of the more pervasive and destructive mental tendencies I've seen is that of focusing on what we want instead of what we have. air jordan NFL jerseys Nike Wholesale Cheap Shoes Designer HandbagsIt doesn't seem to make my difference how much we have, we just keep expanding our list of desires, which guarantees we will remain dissatisfied. The mind-set that says "I'll be happy" when this desire is fulfilled is the same mind-set that will repeat itself once that desire is met.
We want this or that. If we don't get what we want, we keep thinking about all that we don't have and we remain dissatisfied. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the nfl apparel nike shox great wall of china Valve fittings Ed hardy clothingsame thinking in our new circumstances. So, despite getting what we want, we still remain unhappy. Happiness can't be found when we are yearning for new desires.

From the window of my room, I could see a tall cotton-rose hibiscus. In spring, when green foliage was half hidden by mist, the tree looked very enchanting fashion clothes Cheap T-Shirt fashion sunglasses cheap handbags China travel agencydotted with red blossom. This inspiring neighbor of mine often set my mind working. I gradually regarded it as my best friend.
Nevertheless, when I opened the window one morning, to my amazement, the tree was almost bare beyond recognition as a result of the storm ravages the night before. Precision Casting wholesale handbags amusement park soap dispensers supra shoesStruck by the plight, I was seized with a sadness at the thought “all the blossom is doomed to fall”.
