Needless needs

by Ralph Marston

Release yourself from the need to need. Let go of the desperation to take and consume, and allow the genuine fulfillment that comes from what you give and create.

Enjoy living the moment you’re in, unencumbered by resentment of what has been or fear of what might come. Express the true richness that is constantly around you, within you, and moving through you.

Focus less on what should have been and what could have been. Put your energy into all that is, and the best that can be.

Escape the exhaustion of empty, artificial desires. Direct your attention toward expanding the richness and fullness of life.

Choose activities that transform passing time into enduring value. Fill your thoughts with so much appreciation that no space remains for craving.

Reduce the needless needs in your life. You’ll dramatically increase opportunities for freedom and fulfillment.
