Why or Why not???

The way we look at the world has a large impact on how we live in the world.  This came up on a van ride home from Fernie BC.  Do you ask yourself- Why do I need a new car, tv, computer, house, holiday, flight, etc...  or is the question -Why not?  It's a subtle difference but I think it determines a lot about how we act and interact in this world...

So do you ask yourself why or why not?  You do 'only live once' in the words of so many of my close friends and family.  So Why not?  But, Why not comes with its share of trouble too, 1 billion cars, global warming, climate change, a growing gap btn rich and poor in many places... or am I making up a pretty broad correlation...

I also just heard an interesting quote, "it's not the world that needs changing, it's the way we look at the world"

love to hear your perspective.
