Summary

This quote encourages self-reflection by posing three essential questions. "What do you have?" prompts one to recognize and appreciate their current possessions, be it material possessions or personal qualities. "What do you want?" serves as a reminder to identify desires and set goals, encouraging clarity and direction in life. The final question, "What will you give up?", emphasizes the need for sacrifice and compromise to achieve aspirations. Asking oneself these questions provides a framework for understanding one's desires, appreciating what they already have, and making conscious decisions about what they are willing to sacrifice to attain their goals.
