I ate way too much at Thanksgiving dinner. I fought through the mild uncomfortableness and filled my plate a second time. I asked myself, “Why do we feel that it is important to overindulge on the abundance of unnecessary everything?” And then I went and piled on too much dessert.
We tend to overdo it on too many things. We work too hard to save for the next must-have, quickly forgotten tool, toy, or treasure. We tend to trade off what is truly important for an unrealistic and unreachable attempt at satisfaction. When I need the next new anything, I swap off everything, just to be reminded that there is still more to have.
