The lost lamb


I've always spent my life wanting more being told to improve and to keep on going, pushing myself to improve, but this seems to have seeped in over in to other parts of my life. Now not only do I want more out of myslef, I want more stuff and things and crap in my life. At what point can some one look around and say they have everything they need?

Is this just a childish naive state that when I grow out of it I will also stop wanting everything or is it good that I want this continuing improvement.

I'm not sure but I know that i'm not on my own, we seem to be in a world that is want, want, want and I don't know if people have worked out how to stop, keeping up with the jonese seems to be the understatment of the century now.

How do you stop ever wanting more when people have spent their lifes being told they can go out and have what ever they want. The problem seems to be that they have not been told how to get it. So a quick fix for instant gratification seems to be the answer.

But like when you have to much sugar this high is normally followed by a quick and unpleasent drop which leaves you feeling low the choose is do you quit the sugary stuff all together and balence out life or do you just have another quick fix and see how long you can ride it out.
