Avoid temptation, to become content!

      When your parent or friend asks you, 'Do you want to taste this?' or 'Taste it,' by giving it to you, what do you get? A temptation to experience it yourself rises in you. Whatever you desire, it makes an expectation in you to get it and experience. If you get, it gives you some satisfaction. Later, when you begin to get happiness out of it by using it again, you have now started your other fresh attempts to get a full satisfaction out of it (but when you don't get it, it produces frustration in it and then worrying about it). Important thing here is that you must become fully content with having once the full happiness and satisfaction out of it. On the other hand, in case if you don't become content with it, in spite of having got full happiness, drop it and desire for more of that similar happiness in another similar thing, then you have started to become addicted to more and more expectations. So, train yourself to decide and say a firm 'no' to offers made by others to taste or to do and/or experience. Then this firmness of you will limit your desires, lessen expectations, protect you from frustrations and make you happy and be content with what you have got now as new.
