possessions

Phillipians 4:12
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want

"If there is something you own that you can't give away, you don't own it - it owns you" (Albert Schweitzer)

Do I own my possessions or do they own me. I need to learn the secret of being content in all circumstances. In a materialistic culture, I need to keep myself well in check.
