We often become very dissatisfied with our lives thinking that we don't have lots of money, we don't have a car, we cannot visit a five star hotel, we cannot wear Dolche Gabanna dresses…etc….

This happens many a times. This is a very common feeling to most of us. When we achieve anything we feel like getting more and more and more…..!!

We forget the need of being contented with life. a feeling of dissatisfaction surrounds us when we fail to achieve our dreams. We forget to question ourselves as to what we are getting in life which we are not thankful about. 

When we question ourselves about if we have a shelter to live in, if we have food to eat and  clothes to wear, our answer will be very satisfying. But we never ever question that.

Our expectation from life is always too much. When we can be happy with a place to stay, food to eat and clothes to wear, we upgrade our minds to so high a level that we are not satisfied with the basic needs anymore. 

There are millions of people in this world who do not have a place to stay, food to eat and clothes to wear. They are just worried about making their ends meet but they are struggling to get these basic needs of life.

Place to stay- When we talk about place of living, that can be a very simple place where we have  a clean environment , and a safe place. That's all that we require . But we get to think about the décor of the place and the interior designing etc. Though these are new developments but we can accommodate ourselves in a clean and safe place where we can manage our life. That's all we require when a shelter is concerned. But we don't feel contented with that simple shelter. We want more…!!

Food to eat- We need a basic square meal for our healthy living. That's all. But we are never happy with our meal. We want to go to hotels and restaurants and eat some very expensive food items to be happy. Does happiness come from such expensive food habits…?? I don't think so..

Clothes to wear- We can manage our lives without branded clothes' to wear. That's very easy. But wee compare ourselves always. And we always want to judge ourselves with the brand we wear. We are never happy with the simple cotton or other clothes that we can afford to wear.. We want the best and we do not feel happy if we do not have the best brand or fancy items with us.

So the point is , when we can be happy with a simple place to stay, simple food to eat and simple clothes to wear, why are we not grateful enough for all these things. These are blessings which billions of people still do not possess. We should explain our minds about the need of being thankful for the basic needs of our lives. We should be happy that we can afford to have the basic needs iof live.
