Back to the 'I'll be happy when..' topic. It amazes me how this seems to work. We delude ourselves that this one more item possessed, one more goal achieved, one more problem behind, will lead to our ultimate contentment and happiness. But when it is achieved, we are quickly on to the next project, hoping that will be our miracle cure.
While it is great to plan and want to improve our lives, how in the midst of all that can we still find peace and contentment with what we have and who are are right now.
Maybe it's our nature to be discontent a bit all the time. It's evident that we need to develop new eyes on our present lives to feel content. Also maybe it's best to accept that some dissatisfaction and frustration comes with the territory and is needed to push us further. Slippery road between rejoicing in the 'I am enough, I do enough, I have enough' mentality and keeping the motivation for more. More what? More contentment? hmmmmm
Very good ideas .... we can discussed at the English Club....
