We all have things that we "want" but we get that twisted with what we really need. We all want that perfect job that makes the stress worth it. We all want that love that will complete us and make us feel wanted. We all want to know that we are capable of doing for ourselves without the help of others. We want that perfect man or woman. We want that perfect house or car. We want to have that perfect family that others look to as example. We want, we want, but what do we really need? What will really make us happy? Hell if I knew that I would be out there getting or doing anything to get what I want.
There is nothing wrong with wanting those things but sometimes, its not what we want, its what we need that will make us happy.
If you have a job that you like and can put up with, be happy because some can't find one. If you have a home that is safe and warm and keeps you off the streets, be happy because some people don't have a place to call home. If you have someone that loves you even with all your faults, be happy and love them back. Tell them how you feel about them. I know they might not be your idea of "perfect" but they will love you more than anyone else will or could. If you have your right mind to take care of your self, be willing to help those who need a little help. Because who knows, you might be in their shoes one day. If you have the means to fend for yourself and your family be thankful and respect those who are trying there hardest to get to where you are in life.
So stop crying I want, I want and start thinking about what you need and already have but don't even realize it.
Your needs are or they should be simple and sweet. To be loved, happy, healthy, understood, cared for and to be blessed with your needs to get by in this world.
Like I said we all have wants but are they really more important than or needs? No, I don't think so.
