I find it helpful to periodic practice non-religious fasting for a period of time. This can entail food items, coffee, television, driving, etc. By giving these things up for short periods of time, we discover the pull that they have upon us and we realize how we can live without many of the things we think we have to have. With that in mind, I must go get my cup of coffee. Cheers! Thanks for the post. I find it helpful to periodic practice non-religious fasting for a period of time.

I often grab a beer and go outside on the porch to do some reflection in an attempt to put things in the right perspective. Taking time out to reflect allows me to calm my ever busy mind and hopefully find what is actually most important to me and identify those things that could be considered unneccesary desires. Good post, well worth the time to read as it helps to put things into perspective. Thanks! I have fallen victim to putting my desires ahead of myself and labeling them as wants many times.

I realize as I get older that some things I desired when I was younger cost more money, energy or time than I'm willing to spend. It's great to grow wiser as you grow older.
