An Elevated Life

Imagine how our lives would look if ....

We only ate when we were hungry and only enough to not be hungry.

We only bought things we really needed. 

We only spoke when we had something of substance to say.

We only used our phones when we absolutely had to communicate with someone. [Or, YIKES, if we didn't have a phone...]

We checked the news once a day for no more than a minute [all we really need in order to know what is going on].

All those little snippets of time we waste daily were used for important matters [tehillim, learning etc.]

We didn't go to sleep until we thought of all the people who are not sleeping in comfortable beds and indoors. 

We constantly said thank you to Hashem for all of the TRILLIONS [no exaggeration - count your healthy cells] things we take for granted.

A different existence.
