Less is more!
It is a matter of perspective.
Your neighbor has a new car with all the bells and whistles. That one coworker can buy all of the latest fashions and puts others to shame with their ability to accessorize with beautiful and expensive jewelry that her husband buys her. You have yet to find a single possible way to reach the standard of living that she has. Or are you just not looking for riches in the right place?
There is no rule that says you have to have all of the best of everything. We think we do because of the way society has been systematically training us to think in terms of dollars and cents instead of the quality of our everyday lives. There is nothing that guarantees us that with all of the money, happiness is part of the deal. We think it is because it simply looks like it is.
Better is a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife. -Proverbs 17:1 (NIV)
No matter where you go or what you do, someone will always have more or better.
Or do they?
Not Greener.
“The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”
Is really? Or do we just see it that way because of our skewed perspective? Yes, they have more money. Yes, they have better jewelry and clothes. You can clearly see the riches…
