Can greed be conquered?

 

King Midas was a man who wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. 


However, he had not thought that this wish was not a blessing, but could become a curse, soon.

He had this craze for gold but regrets this power, when he cannot eat anything , as it turns into gold.



 Later, he has a heart break as a parent, when his own daughter turns into a gold statue and nothing seems to be possible, to bring her back…..

This old story from Greece conveyed: 'Greed is bad' and has been known for years.....


What are those things you like, for which you cannot stop yourself easily, from taking some more. Think about what helps you adapt back to discipline, in such situation of weakness? 


Take charge of Your Desires!

Self-Talk impacts your Life

We worry a lot about what others think or say about us. This doesn't really matter.  Other people have their own way of thinking, mindset and past experiences. They have their fears, emotions, desires or aversions.... Based on multiple such factors, they might choose to label an act or a person, with a certain adjective. While doing so, they are simply showcasing, their own mind's reflection! Let them think or talk anything, doesn't really matter.
