Life is not measured by how big your property is or how much you have.

When we were little, we just wanted small things.

For instance, a toy, a sticker, a doll, or a toy gun.

As we grew older, our wants, dreams, and goals also became bigger.

For instance, we want a house, a car, and after how many years, we then want to have a new one.

Some people may think that if they already have or they have more, they will finally be happy.

But sometimes you may say that a person already has everything they need.

People’s desires have no end.

Because everything changes.

Things are worn out as time goes by, or some things turn out better.

People changes as well.

But you do not need to have more, but you need to have bigger appreciation to what you have.

You do not need to have a larger storage, but you need to have a greater heart.

You don’t need more — you just need to work with what you have.
