You Are All That You Need

It's human nature, I think, to seek refuge in things other than ourselves. Whether it's a career, a partner, money, a home, or a destination, we tend to make our own peace dependent on external things.
This is just a recipe for turmoil.
When we place the basis for our wellbeing on something other than ourselves, that breeds suffering. In our minds, we're not complete; something else is that missing puzzle piece. The problem is, this continues over and over and over again. It's one thing to seek food when you're hungry or shelter when you need it, but to always be on the lookout for something to satisfy you is not conducive to mental clarity.
I'll end this by saying that a better home, job, or partner are not bad things. If you seek them from a place of personal betterment and they come along, then that's perfectly fine. But to live thinking that you're never fully complete isn't.
More often than not, you are all that you need.
