Appreciation
Greed is a trait that plagues our lives from several different angles, but there is a simple solution to this problem called appreciation.
There is a fine line between striving for something better and just wanting things in life for nothing other than a status quo, just because someone else has it, or just because. Although, the differences are obvious: Do we always recognize the differences?
Everything that we have had, have at the present moment, and will receive are blessings that we should appreciate because there are people who fail to obtain the basic needs of life. Look around you! Look at the homeless shelters! Look the line at the unemployment office! Look at something that you once had that was taken away from you, and ask yourself "Did I really appreciate what I had?"
Count your blessings and appreciate each one.

"You can never get to peace and inner security without first acknowledging all of the good things in your life. If you're forever wanting and longing for more without first appreciating things the way they are, you'll stay in discord."
-- Doc Childre and Howard Martin
Develop an attitude of gratitude. We discover a sense of wholeness as we appreciate both the small and big things in our lives. And it really helps to remember to appreciate ourselves. Appreciation is more than just acceptance -- it's respect and admiration. Let go of criticism and self-abuse.
"Generally, appreciation means some blend of thankfulness, admiration, approval, and gratitude. In the financial world, something that ‘appreciates’ grows in value. With the power tool of appreciation, you get the benefit of both perspectives: as you learn to be consistently thankful and approving, your life will grow in value."
