Thoughts for today


"Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants."


Today's quote or muse comes from the noted Greek Philosopher-Epictetus. I look at this particular quote as penetrating into our own psyche of materialism. How often in our adolescence into our adulthood did we identify our value as what we owned or coveted? We so infrequently relied on not having them and thus creating our own happiness from that. For it is with the lack of great possessions that hopefully we can draw our fulfillment.
