WANTING MORE CAN MEAN LESS

The other day I sat talking with a lady about life and she was saying how she’s not the kind to want more, she is loving being with her kids and enjoying the moments of their childhood, she said she feels so content with their life, where they’re at and what they have. Every now and then she reflects on what society pushes…to keep reaching, wanting, for more, but it’s just not her, them as a family. Instead she’s soaking up every aspect of her kids as they won’t always be this young again. I loved this conversation with her and I loved that she was standing in her truth even though the outside world can ring so loudly to make you second guess your choices. Not only did I hear her words but everything about her speaks that same truth. I’ve known her for a while (through passing & quick hi how are you) and you see and feel her dedication to her family, but not only that, it ripples through to how she interacts & speaks of other kids. She radiates her truth and I’ve always admire her for that. I said to her that wanting more doesn’t have to mean more things, bigger things, more can be less. For when we remove things or go for a more simpler way of living, we gain more space, more peace, more joy, more appreciation for the little things. The most important thing is to look inwards and ask yourself what it is YOU really want…then stand strong by that, what you want isn’t for everyone, it’s not meant to be. Living your truth is about doing it your way and not how you think you should be or how it looks to the outside world, when you live that way you will always be searching for something else simply because you’re not living your truth. Live in truth and it will ripple outwards and be felt by many.
