Do I Need or Want It?

Nowadays with this economy, I have had to take a painful look (and it still hurts) at my needs versus my wants. I want to move into a larger place. I want a new car. I want.....Having to look at my life is good. I realize that there is selfishness, sometimes greed and often just pure enjoyment.

However, I have also re-evaluated the needs. I am looking at any adjustments that can be made anywhere in my life, also another painful task at times. I have come to realize that if I woud just stop procrastinating and organize a few things, I will be better off.

I have set a goal, for instance, to organize my bedroom. I have set that goal many times and have yet to complete it; however, this week, I want to begin taking the first stabs at it. So, I'll start with the closet and throw out things not needed, used or wanted. Once I take that first step, I'll feel better and probably continue tackling the job. I can then move on after that.

I believe that since I have not organized one thing yet that I cannot think properly or like I want to so this adds some pressure or reasoning to doing the organization. Wish me well.

I also need to read more, look at television a whole lot less (I find that sometimes I feel depressed after looking at the news) and maybe just spending some more quiettime with myself and God. I have a lot of words I have been saying to Him and probably would do well to just sit and be quiet and hear Him. So, since I feel to "out of whack", I'm going to do that.

Needs versus wants. It is something we all probably need to think about.
