I need to learn...


Why am I so selfish at times? Wanting more and more, never satisfied. I really need to learn how to be more content. There are so many people out there who have so little, if anything at all. So many kids who go without food or clothes, so many orphans, so many people dying, so many homeless people. When I have one of those selfish moments where I look at people and think they are doing so much better than I am, I need to remind myself that they also, like me, have their self-centered moments, that they also wish for more. We are all self-absorbed in our own way, one way or another, its in our nature, specially as children, but it is also in our nature to control it. I need to remember to be thankful everyday for everything I have- my beautiful family, my caring friends, and of course the mister ♡ Even better, I just noticed I didn't mention the material stuff I'm thankful for and only concentrated on the wonderful people around me, okay now that's something to be proud of :) I have so so sooo much in every possible way, and I need to remind myself this every single day.
Gracias Dios.

  1. Gosh, why is it so eaasy fir us human being to be that way?? For the longest time I didn't realize how selfish I could be, but it's an unfortunate truth I've learned. It's so easy to become complacent, to be greedy...well I don't want to anymore! Great post, awesome truth.

  2. Being selfish is a part of being a human being, but most important, you realizing that, shows that you are growing up and becoming a more mature person. You should be proud of yourself for being grateful for the things you already have.
    Also, if you feel you should have more, that means, you should also work more, set some goals and work hard to make them a reality.

    Good luck!
