May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.

May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you

Summary

This quote expresses the desire for a long and fulfilled life. It implies that true contentment lies not in accumulating material desires, but in finding satisfaction with what we already have. By wishing to live as long as desired, and to not desire for an extended period of time, the quote encourages embracing gratitude, minimalism, and being present in the present moment rather than constantly longing for more. Ultimately, it reminds us to prioritize mental and emotional well-being over endless material wants.
