why having more
could steal your motivation
If you are one of those people who always seem not to get enough of something ,and experience feelings of disturbance about it, then read on and try to answer the following quetions :
what do you usually do about it?
Do you just follow your desire , and go and get it? How do you feel after having more and more of your desired object?
what do you do with it after getting it?
More is a big distraction , and leads to feelings of being stuck .
Whatever it is that you are always trying to get more of, it is only doing one thing in your life , it is distracting you from your real life . Let's take an example : I have a friend who is just crazy about shoes. She likes to get them in all colors and types and styles. She says it makes her happy to have a BIG collection of shoes in her home. The problem is that she is exanding in her love for collecting shoes ,and she's ignoring other areas where she really needs to widen her opportunities and give her attention.
The vase with a single rose
What happens when we put a single rose in a vase?
where would your attention go , when you look at it?
Let's have a look at another picture , the one below.
If I ask you to choose one purple rose and draw it separately on a piece of paper, how easy is it going to be for you to pick out the rose from the crowded vase?
It will not be an easy task , that is for sure.
