Do I need this?

Have you ever asked yourself "Do I need this?" -- Probably.

Do you recognize the difference between needing pasta alfredo and just wanting it?  Sometimes, I need cookies.  Usually, it is a particular kind of cookie ( -- not all cookies are created equally).

You should consider acting on a need.  A want, on the other hand, has to be recongized differently than a need.  I want and Audi TT -- but I don't need one.  I have no plans to indulge that particular want anytime in the near future because it will take valuable resources away from other things that are truly needs.

So next time you are considering putting something in your mouth, maybe the question to ask is:  Do I need this?  Or do I just want it?
