The ever want for more

One of the things you see happening with really successful people is they actually don’t get a lot happier as they climb the social ladder, because the people they compare themselves to change.

When we constantly desire more, we are never satisfied. Because no matter how much we accumulate or achieve, more always exists.

By definition, it is unquenchable.

No matter how much money is in your bank account… there can always be more. No matter how big your house… there can always be more. No matter how many likes on your Instagram post or views on your Tik-Tok video… there can always be more.

When more is the goal, we never fully arrive. It is insatiable.

When more is the goal, we will never find contentment. More is always a moving target. Never fully attainable.

We live life with only two options:

1. We can continue to pursue more. We can believe there is a better life waiting if we were just to acquire more money, more property, more fame.

2. We can reject the false notion that more is needed to discover happiness. And we can find contentment in our circumstances and gratitude for the blessings we already possess.
