“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.” – Saint Augustine

My Thoughts:

Most people don’t really realize how much they are given in life. If they take the moment to realize what they have and how their life really is, there really would be no complaining. But what people want is everything and most of the time it’s just being greedy.

Take a Moment 

If you take some time and brainstorm all the stuff you have in your life, you will be grateful. Just by having a simple car, is already a very big accomplishment in life. If you realize how a simple car makes your life much easier, you can understand that value. It is important to understand that it is not about the type of car but going from A to B that makes the difference.

This is why I’m against expensive cars because there really is no point, other than to show off. I think we are not meant to show off and should focus on what drives us around purposefully.

Home 

Just having a simple home is already a big accomplishment. Being able to stay indoors during rains and thunders is already big lift off of your shoulders. Talking about homes, I want to mention that I am pretty annoyed just how expensive homes are nowadays. It’s as if you just can’t survive on your own. It makes you having to live with others, unless of course you make some great income.

If you think home rent prices are high, I think you can complain to the city. Also, realize if anything is broken in the house. If you’re paying rent, I’m sure everything should be in a working condition. If one thing is not, you may complain to the city or your manager to have it fixed, since you’re paying for it.
