There’s nothing wrong with wanting more in life. Unfortunately, society doesn’t usually affirm that. We tend to get the message that if we want too much then we’re greedy, therefore bad.
But I don’t think it’s greed that makes us want more but rather the natural drive that each of us has within us to grow and make progress.
But because on the one hand we want to grow and experience progress but we’ve also received the message that wanting more is bad – well, it’s rather like having one foot on the gas pedal while the other foot is on the brake.
So, today, I want to give you permission to want more out of life. Of course, I also want you to recognize and appreciate what you have now. These two ideas are not opposites of each other. You can be grateful for what you have and all the progress you’ve already made while also wanting and working toward even more growth and progress.
