Motivational Minute (056)


Quote of the day:

"We have become addicted to having, rather than being, and confusing our needs with our wants. Studies show that if you place high value on those things, you are more likely to suffer depression, anxiety, addictions, and personality disorders. We cannot carry on consuming in this manner and feel confident our great-grandchildren have any future." -- Oliver James

Consider:

To many of us, what we buy, where we shop, how often we shop, how much we have to spend, and how our buying affects others' perception of us, means a great deal—in many cases probably too much.

The issue is not whether we have one car or three, or whether or not we own the latest mobile phone, laptop computer, or iPod. Nor is it whether we shop at a designer store or hunt for used bargains on eBay. What matters is not the content of our closet or garage, but the content of our lives.

The Christmas season is a great time to stop, reflect, and think about the content of your life. Why not give it a try?
