DO YOU WANT IT OR DO YOU NEED IT?

by: Dr. Torrance A. Jacko

When confronted with whether something is a want or need in life, wisdom has to prevail in the decision process.  Some things that we consider needs, turn out to be wants, born out of an unquenchable lust for that thing.

People have wasted valuable time and resources on things that amounted to nothing in the end.  We have information available to us that can assist in these type of decisions.  One practical thing you can do is ask yourself, "how did I get along all this time without that thing?"

This question is loaded with follow up, that will cause you to think before you leap.  If it is something that is needed, "how did you get along all this time without it?"  It may not have been needed before and now the need has come to the surface.  It could be that you discover, you really didn't need it and that's why you were able to get along so long without it...
