Something that came to me

A phrase or concept came to me the other day: "If you want more, then use what you have." I have no idea where it came from, it just popped up in my head and I think it's true. If we don't use what we have already why would we get more? We might just end up wanting more and more but never using anything. All things aren't black and white and sometimes we may very well need more to get the strength or see the possibilities of doing something with what we have, but many times I think we're making excuses and just waiting for things to get perfect before we do anything. It's all or nothing. I have a lot of excuses myself, and some of them are valid, but they're excuses all the same and the frame of mind I am in when I make excuses rarely seems very constructive. So I'm working on it (or perhaps more accurately trying to learn to let God work on it i me).
