What does it mean you need something?

 

Does it mean it is required for you to accomplish your goals?

Does it mean it’s presence has a positive impact on your well-being, your happiness?

Does it mean it’s absence has a negative impact on your well-being, your happiness?

 

I suppose if this was the meaning of the word – then yes — NEEDING would be a good habit

 

But then the converse:

Anytime what you think you need doesn’t actually CONTRIBUTE — you don’t really need it

In that case it’s just a bad habit

 

This is why I would recommend acquiring more… then discarding more

Acquiring more items, not just material, but mostly experiential, intellectual, spiritual… is but an act of living.

It’s not more nor less.

Not more than life and not less.

Living is DOING things, which is a form of taking CONTROL of things, which is a form of acquiring things, acquiring control, power

AND THEN,

Then relinquishing things

So that one can acquire different things

And eventually — so that others can now acquire things

 

Yes I would recommend discarding more — to learn what you truly “need”

If you don’t noticeably find yourself impacted by the need discarded — perhaps you didn’t really need it

 

And sometimes I would even recommend discarding that which you genuinely need, in some way

For there are levels to this need business

HOW MUCH do you NEED IT?

One only knows VALUE of anything in RELATION to something else.

Likewise one only knows how much they need something in RELATION to some other need

Discard some of what you need — see what you’re missing the most

 

Learn what you need — and learn gratitude

Learn what you don’t need — and free yourself
