"When you lose everything you want, you find the only thing you need..."

In a time where so many people have lost everything, I think this will really ring true for many!!! It's easy to get caught up in material possesions and wants. It's always easy to fall into a state of unhappiness because of not having these things. If you dont get everything you want you feel inadequate and unsatisfied.

However, when everything you've known and loved gets swept away in an instant and all you wanted is lost, you realize how little you really need. It's easier to see how valuable the love of family, friends, neighbors, and life is when all of the artificial value you've known for so long is no longer there blocking your view.

So many people are so much more grateful now having nothing, than they ever would have been with all the riches in the world. You dont know how much you need something until the thought of not having it becomes a near reality!

The true necessities in life are so often overlooked and forgotten. What more do you need than love? Even if everything on this earth is taken...think about it, whether you're religious or not, or Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, whatever the case may be, you're loved by a God. He may not be everyone's God...but if he's your God what else matters? If nothing else that's comforting.

It's crazy to think of how little we really need in order to survive, but in reality how much we really have. Yet we're never satisfied. We take it for granted that we deserve all of our posessions and belongings. So many others have so little....but honestly, they too have all they need!!!
