Criss JamiImagination doesn't always make you long for what you cannot have, but rather thrive in what you do not have.
About This Quote
We all dream of what we don't have. We may not be able to buy the car we want, go to the school we want, or even meet the person we want. But, what if you didn't have anything at all? Whatever you might be missing, it's okay. You can still live your life and find fulfillment.
The thing is, it's how you take things for granted that does make you long for what you can't have. It's this constant longing that leads to dissatisfaction and unhappiness. How well you take things for granted is up to you.
