Sense of need

Due to the advent and prevalence of Social Media, there is a growing sense of need in most people. It is an entitlement mindset that creates a need where none exists. This mindset creates a craving that the available means cannot satisfy. In the end, they are left with a sense of need.

"Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances".(Phil.4.11)

We see people putting their best foot forward, posting pictures and videos of themselves at locations that seem out of this world, and then it leaves you longing. Longing for what is not. People living fake lives and then you want to live up to a fictitious standard. And this put you under a lot of strain. It changes you into trying to become what you are not.

The Apostle Paul says I have no sense of needing anything personally. I have learned to be quite content whatever my circumstances.  A lot of lessons here. The first is that contentment is learned. And because he has learned this, the result is that he does not have a sense of need. Furthermore, he says circumstances do not dictate his spending pattern. He has learned to be content in every circumstance.

Put your best foot forward, live your best life but let it be within your means. Be content and not with a sense of need.
