Why is it that we always want more than we have, even when we already have everything we need? Will we ever be truly fully satisfied? When will the wanting end?
I took a good hard look at my life this week and realised that I take my blessed life for granted. Not once did I have to go without something I wanted. Not once did I wake up unhappy about getting to work or starting my day. I have all I could ask for yet I always want more! That's the truth of it.
I want more time, More money, more clothes, more shoes, more everything...all the things that aren't important. All the things that don't mean anything in the end.
On my flight to Adelaide this week, I met a lovely lady - we talked the whole trip - she's an author. One of her books is called 'Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives'. It made me wander - what is extraordinary about me? What am i doing to make a difference in this world? What mark will I leave? How will I make change? Will I?
So many deep questions - I'll need a glass of wine to get me through this post!
