AOM Meditations: 122612

On a cold, snowy day like today

I am dreaming of here.

There is something perverse 

about more than enough. 

When we have more, 

it is never enough. 

It is always somewhere out there, 

just out of reach. 

The more we acquire, 

the more elusive enough becomes.

You say, 'If I had a little more, 

I should be very satisfied.' 

You make a mistake. 

If you are not content with what you have, 

you would not be satisfied if it were doubled. 

~Charles Haddon Spurgeon

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. 

~Morrie Schwartz
