From one of the readings at a meeting tonight:
There is a balance between wanting nothing and wanting everything. If we can broaden our thinking to include such words as plenty, fulfillment, pleasure, and satisfaction, we will start to believe there is enough of everything.
Wanting nothing is about not feeling deserving. Wanting everything, well, that's the addict life in a nutshell, isn't it?
Too much was never enough for me. Yet sometimes, I feel like I don't deserve anything because of what I've done.
This was a great reminder to me to strike a balance, and to have attitude of abundance. I am good enough to deserve what I need and want, and by the way, I actually already have most of what I REALLY need and want. The other stuff, it never really satisfied me, no matter how much of it I got.
