Something meaningful

Once I came across this meaningful quote. This was how it read:

" I try not to live my life satisfying every want."

I could not recall the author of this beautiful quote..but one thing's certain, it left me pondering & I dare say, pretty inspired.

I intepret "wants" as impulses for material possessions.

When I was eight, I remembered I so wanted this doll that could talk and say "I love you" .

I wanted it soo much that when that doll commercial came on, I sat glued to the screen & totally mesmerised.

I knew I wanted it terribly when I couldn't walk away from the shelf that housed my very desire.. that if I didnt have it there & then my heart would ache so bad, it was as good as dead.

Now that I'm all grown up, the doll I never had became a fond memory.

In recent years, I could pretty much afford what my heart desires with a little effort.

Of course, there are times when I wondered how it felt to slip my manicured feet into a pair of Jimmy Choos.

Or how wonderful it would be if I had the Chanel clutch to go with that LBD.

But have u once felt there was something u gotta have, but once its within reach, it loses its magic? I have.

Sure there is always that sense of triumph that leaves one euphoric, but it isn't enduring.
At least for me.

Let's just say..I WILL try not to live life satisfying every want :p
