Oh wow now that threw me. The first part of that quote is a really common one but I’ve never heard the end bit. I suppose it’s about greed and or wastage?!
Thank you for surprising me this morning 😀 jxxx
Ps I opened my store. I will post about it but meanwhile here is the link…
I don’t know for sure how he meant it, but I believe we keep ourselves living in scarcity/”not enough” by having a cup of wants that is too big. A sense of abundance comes when our cup overflows and that experience happens sooner if our cup of wants is smaller.
Greed and wastage is certainly related to that… I think your sense was right.
Yes youre right, less want equals a sense of satisfaction much easier to attain, I don’t often think of it like that but should, inspiring, thank you ❤
I didn’t realize I had forgotten to write you about the store. I went to visit it as soon as I learned it was up. I am very impressed. The website is beautiful and your presentation is very inviting. You have so many great items for sale. I hope it is a huge success!
I cannot really afford to pay for advertising big style, but I did mail everyone in my youngest sons class, so 60 parents. I also put it on my personal facebook and here on the blog. Hopefully some people will spread the word and it will pass on from there 😀 x
