Learning To Want What You Have

Why do we feel that our life's  not complete. 
Even when we've achieved what we strove for. 
Why do we need to invent daring feats
Can't be happy unless looking for more. 

Life does not come with a sealed guarantee. 
Just a free pass from cradle to grave. 
So please check the date on your warranty. 
All your cards may have already been played. 

Theres no sense complaining that life is not fair 
And imagine that people will listen. 
Believe me most people don't really care 
What it is you think your life is missing. 

Keep striving don't ever give up on that
But strive to be happy right where you're at.
