Want vs Need

All what you want is not all what you need. Most of us have known about it but we often forget about it at the moment we face it.

For example, when we want to have a very new model of mobile phone but we don't have the cash yet, we feel disappointing, sad, even angry to ourselves. Consciously, we know it rather ridiculous, because we already have well-functioned mobile phone, though it is not the newest model. So what?

Moreover, we could use our money for another need which necessary, or we may just save it for next time (future).

Sometimes it because a friend who shows us that he just buy a mobile phone, the newest, because he need it. Or, because the ad is so tempting. But, they're not the reasons indeed, as long as we could control our 'emotion'. Just ask to ourselves again and again (before we buy), do we really need it?

Not only for anything we could buy, but also for situation we face.

Sometimes, we could not accepted when bad things happen to us. If we get sick for example, it's not comfortable at all and we don't want to experience it (even for a moment), but maybe we need it, in order to appreciate the good thing, even it daily (usual).

Shortly, we may try to get whatever we want, with filtering question 'do we really need it?'. But, even if we don't get it, just be grateful, at least we already try. 

Then, for situation or condition we don't want to happen but come, just be grateful and be sure there should be something good after that.
