Let not thy mind run on what thou lackest as much as on what thou hast already. — Meditations, Book VII

My Take – I always struggle with this one.  I want the new car, I want the house in the country.  I need the new gun, or I have to have some hunting land.  I really should get that new gadget, or at least upgrade the one I already have.  All the while I’m looking past the good job, wonderful family, great friends, good home, and life of absolute luxury that I have.  Yes, I will always work hard to do better, but I should always remember that I have more now than I have ever had in my life, and it’s more than any of my ancestors ever wished for.
