3787: How to Fight the Desire for More by Mike Donghia of This Evergreen Home on Choosing Contentment Over Comparison

Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3787: Mike Donghia reflects on how the constant urge to acquire more, whether through impulse buys or social comparison, gradually erodes contentment. By learning to pause before purchasing, appreciate what we already have, and find satisfaction in simplicity, he reminds us that genuine fulfillment comes not from accumulation but from mindfulness and gratitude. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://thisevergreenhome.com/desire-for-more/ Quotes to ponder: "Buying more doesn’t usually solve the problem of being more satisfied, organized, or content, but instead leads to more overwhelm of your possessions, more ungratefulness of what you actually have, more debt, and less time to spend on the things that you value most." "I need to live my own life, be content with what I have, and stop desiring what others have." "Everyone lives their own lives, so wanting what others have in hopes that it’ll make my life easier and prettier will likely not satisfy a deeper desire once those items are bought."
