"La verdadera riqueza consiste no en tener muchas posesiones, sino en tener pocos deseos."
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
Having a lot of things doesn't make you rich. What really makes you rich is being happy with what you have and not wanting more and more. For example, think about a person who has a small house, a few clothes, and just the basics to live. If this person feels content and doesn't constantly wish for more, they feel truly rich. On the other hand, someone who owns a lot but always wants new stuff never feels satisfied. To apply this to your life, you can start by appreciating what you already have and focusing less on what you don't. This mindset can bring more peace and happiness than owning many possessions ever could.
