...Being happy with what you have is a great asset...

"If we consider what already exists all around us to be satisfactory, it brings comfort and richness, too rich to be measured in material wealth. As the Pali saying goes, 'Santutthi Param Dhanam = Solitude is a great wealth.'

When we appreciate the abundance in our lives, finding usefulness in what we possess, we immediately become 'rich.' On the other hand, if we constantly find everything annoying, dislikable, and remain dissatisfied, we may buy something expensive one day, only to find no satisfaction in it the next day. In such a case, the entire house would lack satisfaction, making one feel more like a 'poor person' than a 'beggar' and even beyond, a 'crazy person.'

Therefore, let us ponder on the essence of this Buddhist proverb: 'Santutthi paramadhanam = Joy over what you have is the greatest wealth.'"
