I Want What I Have

I was paging through the April 2010 issue of Shape magazine and came across their Mantra of the Month.  It really struck me and I thought I would share it.

I want what I have.

It's perfectly natural to want more-more clothes, more friends, more money; it's only human.  But obsessing over things you're lacking can make you feel dissatisfied.  This month take a moment to acknowledge what you do have--anything from your healthy body, which can carry you through a six-mile run, to your best friend, who's more like a sister.  Remember that, while life can always get better, it's fulfilling to appreciate where you are now.

The quote/mantra comes from Jared Matthew Weiss. 

How simple is that?  How perfect is that?
