2-22-16 Post: Dissatisfaction

Question/Comment: I am never satisfied and don’t know if this is a fault or a blessing. Can you please share your opinion?

Comment: It is our nature as human beings to never be satisfied. We can also say that nothing is satisfied. Everything and everyone is in constant change. Have you heard it said that the only constant is change?

So if you achieve a desire or accomplish a goal and are already thinking about the next thing you want to gain, there is nothing wrong with that. It is also not imperative. If you feel good just resting, just being, there is nothing wrong with that.

If doing nothing with no desire to accomplish becomes a constant condition, that can be an issue and may be a sign of depression or fear. Out of being, resting, “doing nothing” desire naturally arises. This is the creative process.

Very importantly, not being satisfied is vastly different from lack of gratitude. It is very important to be thankful for what you do have and what you have accomplished. The next thing is built on the foundation of what you have learned, made, accomplished and the appreciation and gratitude you have for yourself, others, things, and so on.


You might even say you can be grateful for your dissatisfaction as it motivates you to new endeavors and new heights. It keeps you moving and expanding in ever widening circles. Is this any different that the universe or life itself?
