The most important things in life

In life it is important to find what it is that we mind the most important things to us in order to find satisfaction and contentment. When I say the most important things in life I do not mean the most important for living, but the most important things to have a good life.

For me the most important things in having a good life is through companionship and to have someone to talk to, something which I have found up to a degree. When you have identify what that thing is that you need to live a good life, you will no longer feel wanting or searching for something more.

But how do you find out what it is that is important to us. Think of yourself as an island, or someone with utterly nothing bereft of everything. In your mind take away from yourself friends, family, houses, love, our occupation, clothes on your back and what you are left with is just ultimately you. Only then can you find what it is that you are seeking in your life. I am not asking you to discard all the things you have literally but to spiritually do so. But I do believe when a man has nothing, to be bereft of riches and fame, and those material things that clouds the mind, will he be able to find his own contentment.

In summation I will say this, the more you have, the more you want but the less you have, the less you need.
