It is good for us to recognize all the gifts we have in our life. The fact we have time to think about making our life better means that we are very fortunate.
There are times when our thankfulness can get the better of us and start to feel like guilt because we have so more than others. When this happens wanting more in life can feel greedy.
Today we are going to tap for those times we feel greedy for wanting more than we already have.
I Have So Much More Than Some. It Is Greedy To Want More
(audio 4m28s)
I recognize that I am blessed…I recognize that I have many more than most…That there is a good chunk of the world…That still struggles every single day…That simply fights to make ends meet…That don’t have the opportunities that I have…And when I recognize these things…It’s really easy for me to feel like I’m being greedy…Because in comparison to some, I have so much…If I want more, it must mean I’m dissatisfied with what I have…And it feels like I’m unappreciative for what I have…But me not moving forward…Does not help other people…Halting my own progress…Does not lift other people up…Depriving myself of opportunity does not give it to other people…I can appreciate what I have…Appreciate that I’m ahead of many…And still strive for more…And still strive for better…Success is not a limited resource…And my success is not stealing from others…When I have success it’s easier for me to share…When I have success it’s easier to lift other people up…I give myself permission to recognize…I can be appreciative of what I have…Not take opportunity from others…And continue to move forward…Working towards my success does not mean I am forgetting others…Working towards my success does not mean I’m leaving people behind…. Working towards success simply means I am trying to lift myself up…Which is good for me…And it’s good for all.
