Appreciate the things you cannot have...
"I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate."- Elbert Hubbard.
Appreciating the things you do not yet have can be a good thing. In fact, it is should make you feel better than someone who has it all, but cannot appreciate what he has.
We often times engage in a futile pursuit to amass as much material property as we can only to end up seeking more. If you are one of those people who know how to appreciate the little things as they appear, you will be able to live with yourself no matter what you have.
Appreciate the things you do not have and you will not bother about killing yourself to own them.
I have come to notice that, amassing more than is needed mostly leads to a desire to have more and the more we have, the less we become appreciative of the beautiful things of life.
I want things in life that I could not get like the normality of my health and it makes me feel like it is just a dream if someday I could get those things @ejemai
One of the negative side of always trying to amassing wealth is; its deprives one of satisfaction, you will always want to be the first to own it once its release (latest iphone,tablet, car,perfume,designers wears, shoes). This will lead to unexplainable expenditure, you may even buy things you dont need. But when you are satisfied with little you have, appreciation wont be a difficult deal. Kudos @ejemai.
I see that appreciating things you do not have helps you to build the mindset towards having it.
