You have enough.

You have enough.

By Derek Sivers

I love my computer and Kindle, but you won’t hear(hi(ə)r) me rave(rāv) about them. I don’t want you to want them.

Companies spend a fortune(ˈfôrCHən) begging(beg) you to want their stuff. I won’t add(ad) to that noise(noiz).

I’d like to train(trān) parrots(ˈparət) to say “It won’t make you happy!.” I’d let them loose(lo͞os) in shopping malls, big electronics(ilekˈträniks,ˌēlek-) stores, and car lots(lät). Then, when people are considering spending their savings on a giant(ˈjīənt) TV, or going deeply in debt(det) with a new car, a surprising(sə(r)ˈprīziNG) squawk(skwôk) might shock them back to their senses(sens).

The quickest way to double your income is to halve(hav,häv) your expenses. Any study of happiness will tell you it’s best to actively(ˈaktivlē) appreciate(əˈprēSHēˌāt) what you’ve got.

I feel a responsibility to only put helpful thoughts into the world.

So, no product raves here. You already have more than you need.
