Why Most Men Stay Miserable
“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.” — Seneca
Most men stay miserable because they only focus on what they don’t have. They crave more money, more status, more possessions, and miss the value of what’s already in their hands.
Gratitude puts a spotlight on what you do have. It forces you to slow down, see clearly, and appreciate the people and opportunities around you. That kills comparison, and comparison is poison.
Yes, we should all keep striving. Dreams, goals, and ambitions sharpen us. But if craving “more” is the only thing driving you, life will feel empty.
Today, take 5 minutes and be grateful for what you have in your life. Your health, the roof over your head, the food in your stomach, the ease in which you take a breath. This will ground you in reality, not the delusion in which we're manipulated into believing.
