Fulfillment


"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."  ~Epictetus






You can eat a full bowl of potatoes, or a full plate of sirloin steak.
You can hold a full glass of milk, or drink a full goblet of champagne.
You can play in a full toy box, or own a millionaire's full house.
You can enjoy a full retirement, or save a full bank account.
But if your heart is empty, and their are holes in your soul,
you will remain hungry, and always long for something more.

  3. Ah, this is profound...how often people try to fill a hole inside with 'stuff', when they've lost track of what really matters in life! Your words are very wise...

    I also very much like the Epictetus quote...definitely words to live by...
