THE DEATH TRAP OF WANT.. Well, can I help you ?

I once wanted a discman, well if you are GenZ you may not understand what this portable and sleek device is, well I will try to help you, just consider it a music player that plays music from discs some weird plastics discs. I wanted one so badly twenty plus years ago, I begged a friend to ask his cousin to give me one that he had abandoned, I pleaded and prodded so much so that he caved in and yes it was mine, beautiful sleek and shiny, only problem is I could not get it fixed and it sat beautifully in my room but no music could come from it. I was a teenager but that experience shaped my outlook on life and material things, I got what I wanted but it did me no material good.

I know there are places in your life too where you got so many things you desired but still have never been satisfied, if so that mean you like me and countless billions are living in the chokehold of want and believe me how to become free from it is very simple, it is to want nothing, yes literately tell yourself I want nothing, I have all that I need, I am satisfied today and fulfilled. I am relatively financially comfortable now, I could buy most type of cars, live in most part of my city, eat in the best restaurants anywhere in this world, but guess what I want nothing. I am satisfied and my life and happiness does not depend on any external event or happening. I guess you do not need a bad discman like me, why? the wisest man who ever lived said “for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” and who knows when you want nothing you become more grateful for everything and consequently have everything because you are FREE.

I love you and wish success on your journey!!!
