Seek what you need.
Give up what you need not.

“Who seeks more than he needs, hinders himself from enjoying what he has. Seek what you need and give up what you need not. For in giving up what you don’t need, you’ll learn what you really do need."
― Solomon Ibn Gabirol an eleventh-century Spanish poet-philosopher
