Sometimes you can have everything you want but fail to achieve anything you need.

If for even a moment I would pull myself away from this mad search for everything that I don't have to take a look at everything that I do have, this mad search would instantly devolve into a calm peace. And if there’s one thing I don’t have that has driven this mad search, you can bet that this is probably it.

As utterly irrational as it might seem, the greed within me has the most limited vision I can possibly imagine as it has eyes only for the few things it doesn’t have, and it is completely blind to all the many remarkable things that it does.

If possessing everything is the ‘everything’ of my existence, maybe losing everything is the only ‘thing’ that I really need right now.

I don’t wish to possess anything so that I may be left free to experience everything.

Thankfulness acknowledges that we can’t own anything, but we can experience everything. And just knowing that makes me thankful.

The size of my life is not determined by how much I have, but how much I’ve chosen not to have.

Greed consumes everything that we are in the pursuit of everything that we don’t have. Therefore, to possess everything that the world has to offer but to have lost ourselves in the pursuit is to hold everything but to possess nothing.

Everything that I have becomes invisible in my search for everything that I don’t have. And when that happens, what I don’t have starts to look like the only thing that I do have.
