If Only

If only. Have you ever been guilty of the if onlies? You know, the way you try to convince yourself that your life would be so much better if only... In fact, you might use a lot of your time ruminating over that amazing life that could be...if only. I'm guilty of this. I find myself thinking about something I might want and automatically jump to the conclusion that things would be so much better if only....Why do we seem to think that something we don't have and may never have is automatically better than what we do have? Now there is nothing wrong with dreams of the future, but don't use up the time you have now on the if onlies... Socrates said, "He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have."
