More

What does that mean? We all want it. We think that some people have it. But do we know when we get it?

More time.
More money.
More stuff.
More things.
More house.
More love.
More respect.
More friends.
More ______ (you fill in the blank).

Now that we know we want MORE, what do we do? Most of the time nothing because that would require action. But the big question is how do we define MORE. Or better yet, who do we allow to define MORE for us.

If you want more money, how will you be able to tell when you get to that point? Was there a time in your life that you wanted what you have now. Five or ten years ago, did you sit and think if I could only make X amount a year, and now you are making X or more and what do you want? MORE!!!!! You can take that example and apply it to everything. Did you at one time dream about having the house that you live in now? Did you ever dream that one day you would have the car or the gadgets that you have now? Did you ever want the stuff that is sitting in your closet collecting dust?

How do we know when we get it and what keeps us wanting more of it? I know that there have been times the I have been riding around and noticed a big, beautiful, elegant, immaculate house. I would look at that house and think, if only I lived there. I would dream about the other people that would look at my big, new house and how they would be dreaming that it was theirs. The one thing that I didn't think was that maybe the people that lived in that house also saw other houses that they wished they could have. I didn't think that there was people riding by my little old house, dreaming that it might could be theirs. I never looked at it from those points of view.

I am beginning to believe that everyone is wanting more. No matter where they are in life. Is Donald Trump satisfied? Does Warren Buffet think about making more money? If The Donald was satisfied, we wouldn't even know him. He would be off living on some secluded beach or in a little town in South Carolina, relaxing.

Take some time today, and think about the people that are looking at your situation and dreaming that they might one day be able to live like you. Think about where you were five or ten years ago and where you want to be five or ten years from now. Will you still be wanting more? Will you allow time to fly by in your life wishing that things were different, when you could be enjoying what you have?
