The title is referencing those who have and those who do not, and no one has everything. We may think as outsiders that someone has everything, but in all honesty every individual is lacking is some area if they are open and honest.
The reason for this blog is due to what I have heard, seen, and read as of late. For instance, "I wish that I could go on vacation to Hawaii.", "I wish I had the money to go and do girly things.", "I wish I had a more adventurous life.", "I wish I had a husband who was more fun."... Seriously, you may "wish" all of these things, but it is my opinion that you have made the choices that have created your circumstances. This may be a hard line, and I am not writing of the circumstances that are beyond any one persons control.
Example, I have a friend who is constantly on the go and when she posts as her facebook status what she will be doing for the day you can count on one person to begrudge her. I cannot even comprehend this! Why would you begrudge someone for "having"? You have the power to create and change your circumstances so if you wish to have fun then make the time for fun.
I am not saying that I am innocent... I wish that I had children who obeyed the majority of the time, I wish that I had a husband who cleaned up after himself, and I wish that I was capable of seeing my sisters and niece more often, however I do not begrudge someone who is capable.
It all boils down to one word, CONTENTMENT. The neuro-physiological experience of satisfaction and being at ease in one's own situation. It is like the diet slogan, "Live your best life now..." and NIKE slogan, "Just Do It..." If you find yourself envious of another individual look inward and fix yourself instead of exposing your insecurities and jealousy.
"We tend to forget that happiness does not come as a result of getting something we do not have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." ~Frederick Keonig
