Wanting & Having

As best I can tell, there are truly only five options for how to react if there's a mismatch between what you want & what you have:

• change what you want
• change what you have
• convince yourself that you have what you want
• convince yourself your that you want what you have
• live inside the tension of unsatisfactoriness

I suppose the first two are better if you can manage them, but I also suspect that most people live in one of the last three.
