In this consumerism-obsessed, materialism-driven age, is it possible to transform ourselves from being obsessed with what we want to being content with what we actually need?

I am here to tell you that yes, it’s possible and easier than you might think. My family and I have been making this transition over the past few years, and we are amazed when we compare our mindset today with what it was when we began. We are learning what it means to be satisfied with what we need. It’s a beautiful thing to find now that the things we want and the things we need are harmoniously one and the same.
