Are you ever satisfied? It is said that humans are never satisfied, that if you give them one thing they will want something more. Think of all the great accomplishments which have come about because people were not satisfied with the way things were. They pursued satisfaction. The same is true for you and I. We are in constant pursuit of satisfaction. In the process we achieve some measure of greatness. We invent, we create, we express, we cooperate, we build, we challenge and we think, all because we can never be completely satisfied.
Our fulfillment comes not from ever reaching a state of absolute satisfaction, but rather from continually moving toward it. If, and I do mean if, we ever achieved absolute satisfaction, we certainly would not be satisfied with it. There would no challenge against which it could be applied.
Think of it this way, money would be worthless if there was nothing to buy, just as the sense of satisfaction we get from our accomplishments would be useless if there was nothing more to accomplish.
It's okay and acceptable to never be satisfied. That means there’s always something more to be done. Strive today to find your joy in doing what you do everyday, pursue satisfaction.
