What a sad way to live.

"I'll be happy when my kids listen to me" "Life will be good if I get a good wife" "If only I had that house!"

I'm not promoting asceticism here. It's good to want things. There's a good long list of things I want to do, to be, to have. My current circumstances however, do not get me down. What I have is not a wish list, something I wonder about in my idle time. It's my dream list, the things I know I'll get/be/achieve. And my actions, regardless of my environment, moods, beliefs, continually strive in that direction.

Wouldn't this be a more empowering way to live? I leave it to you.
