Isn't this a wonderful realisation. I have come to this conclusion and tried to focus upon it the last couple of years but it's hard, we are wired to chase dopamine in a loop quest for happiness and that quest always involves change and "the grass is greener" mentality but of course it's not real and it is not what makes us happy and if I think of how complicated my life has become and how happy I was when I had nothing but a partner and studio apartment when I first moved out of home and how I essentially had all I ever needed at that point to be happy you can start to grasp how futile and silly the constant pursuit is, and yet I still need to constantly remind myself.....and probably will until I die. There is a reason monks focus on having no possessions and living in the present, to kill the ego. What we think will bring happiness will not. Anyway rant over, great though. >

That's an excellent point! It's definitely difficult to break free from the cycle of wanting more and more, but it's so important to learn to be content and appreciate what we already have. >

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you'll get what you need. >

I love this. >

I have GOW Ragnarok, I want to play GOW Ragnarok. Seems pretty easy. >

I’d argue that wanting what you have is much, much, MUCH easier than getting things you want. >

But I want money and I gotta say I don’t have too much of that >
