Stop Being GREEDY!!!

Listen, I know there are some things that look "better." Some things you "wish" you had. But STOP BEING GREEDY!

Many people I know are miserable or will be miserable because they always see/find something that looks "better" than what they currently have.

What if it's not meant for you to have that?
Christians will often say that God has given us "dominion" over the earth, and that we are the "head and not the tail, above and not beneath."

Okay, but God didn't mean that we would all be driving Benzes, BMWs, and living in big houses, and being in charge at our jobs.

Maybe you see a man or a woman that you think is "perfect" but what if that's not your mate?

LEARN TO BE CONTENT!

I can look back at the mistakes I've made-I've made myself miserable and unhappy desiring after things that either God said "not yet" or "not for you." I would complain (and this is recently too!) "GOD WHY??" and "WHEN?"...never mind the fact that God has me RIGHT where He wants me!

Okay so let's get off the preachy path...how about you can literally make yourself SICK by stressing/chasing after something that was NEVER yours to begin with!

It really BUGS me to see people tryna "switch" lanes because someone else's lane looks better. I know I've written a blog like this before, on facebook...but this continues to bug me...

STOP BEING GREEDY! Stop trying to fit a SQUARE PEG into a ROUND HOLE. Be yourself. Being an authentic you is better than being an imitation of someone else.

I know we all say "if only I had more of this" or "I want that". It's great to have plans and goals...but what if it's not meant for us? Not saying you shouldn't plan...but plan for your plans to be totally scrapped, because that is just the way life goes sometimes.

Learn to take the good with the bad. Learn to smile, learn to be content, to laugh, to ENJOY life! The sooner you learn this, the better off you'll be!
