The Wish
We always wanted more. More money. More candy. More excitement. We wanted more of everything and for a little while, we got it. When a genie offered us one wish, we thought we were clever when we answered with a single word: more. And although we had more cash, snacks, and prizes, we also felt more anger, fear, and envy. We had more worries, arguments, and sleepless nights. As our homes became cluttered with things, so many emotions jammed our heads that we could not think. We worried that we might lose our things, that we did not have enough. Our lives had become so crowded and complicated that soon we could not move. So we began throwing things away. With each gadget and trinket that we put in the trash, our heads cleared a little, and each day we found ourselves worrying a litle less and smiling a little more.
Simplicity provides inner strength. Look for areas where reduction might be beneficial and consider how your character may be refined.
