Do you want it or do you need it?

 Before you get angry ask yourself do I want it or do I need it?

 Needing it, is totally different than wanting it. 

 Some things may be nice if you get it but that doesn't mean you need it.

  If you have everything you need, you should be thankful.

  But when you don't get everything you want that is no reason to get angry.

  I watched someone complain about not being able to go on an amazing vacation to someone I knew was struggling just to pay their monthly bills.

  The saddest part is that they too knew that the other person was struggling to get the basic necessities that they needed.

  I saw the deep saddness in their eyes as they listened to your anger and frustration that you were missing a grand vacation.

  But I didn't see any feeling of Compassion in your eyes knowing that they were stressed out trying to figure out how to even feed their family. 

  You have no idea that if you would help someone have the necessities that they need it is way more GRATIFYING then wasting a ton of of money on that dream vacation could ever bring you.

  Instead of wasting your money, time and effort on things you don't need, ENJOY what it FEELS like to help someone have the necessities that they desperately need.

  You may have a lot of LOVE in your heart but can anyone FEEL it?
