以下是小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞： Think more about what you have，希望對你有所收獲。

　　Think more about what you have

　　記住，從現(xiàn)在開始，多想想你擁有的，而不是你想要的。如果這樣做，你的生活會比以前更美好，那種感受或許將是你生命中的第一次，你將會懂得心滿意足的含義。

　　One of the more pervasive and destructive mentaltendencies I've seen is that of focusing on what wewant instead of what we have. It doesn't seem tomake my difference how much we have, we just keepexpanding our list of desires, which guarantees wewill remain dissatisfied. The mind-set that says "I'llbe happy" when this desire is fulfilled is the same mind-set that will repeat itself once that desireis met.

　　We want this or that. If we don't get what we want, we keep thinking about all that we don'thave and we remain dissatisfied. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the samethinking in our new circumstances. So, despite getting what we want, we still remain unhappy.Happiness can't be found when we are yearning for new desires.

　　Luckily, there is a way to be happy. It involves changing the emphasis of our thinking fromwhat we want to what we have. Rather than wishing you were able to take a vacation to Hawaii,think of how much fun you have had close to home. The list of possibilities is endless! Each timeyou notice yourself falling into the "I wish life were different" trap, back off and start over. Takea breath and remember all that you have to be grateful. When you focus not on what youwant, but on what you have, you end up getting more of what you want anyway. If you focuson the good qualities of your spouse, she'll be more loving. If you are grateful for your jobrather than complaining about it, you'll do a better job, be more productive, and probably endup getting a raise any-way. If you focus on ways to enjoy yourself around home rather thanwaiting to enjoy yourself in Hawaii, you'll end up having more fun. If you ever do get to Hawaii,you'll be in the habit of enjoying yourself. And, if by some chance you don't, you have a greatlife anyway.

　　Make a note of yourself to start thinking more about what you have than what you want. If youdo, your life will start appearing much better than before. For perhaps the first time in your life,you'll know what it means to feel satisfied.
