"No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don't have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have."
~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 123.3
Today's reading is meant to be about wealth and material things, but I find right now it is applicable to me mainly for things I find myself wanting, like more time, more help, fewer obligations, fewer stressors, etc. Since right now I really can't have any of the things I really want, I need to change my perspective and not want for things I cannot have, and use what I do have well.
