According to Terry Gilkyson the song writer of
the popular Walt Disney animation Jungle Book, he said and i quote:
"look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life"

Those are really strong words, but for some people it's just a song in an animation for children. We must learn to be open, flexible only then will we reap the full benefits and packages of what life has installed for us.
Check this out, lets imagine the bear in the context of the song is you. As humans our wants are numerous but the means to satisfy this wants are in most cases not available and we fall back into the trap of worrying, which in turn leads to other medical problems.
Our wants shouldn't be our greatest concern, let our needs come first. I know you'll be saying they are both one and the same thing, but they are not. Take for instance you need a car, that's a need identified. But if you now say you will use all your savings to to buy the most expensive Mercedes, thereby leaving you with zero account balance. That has become a want because you can always get another Mercedes that's not that expensive and still have something to fall back to in case of unforseen contingencies.
That way you get a car, you have something to fall back to and you save yourself stress and worries. Mother nature has made everything available to us. Be like the bear and only go for your needs and not wants.
Life is short like nicker, so try and leave it to the fullest, say no to worries, say no no to high blood pressure, say no to heart attack.
