When Are We Satisfied?

What are your biggest challenges?

I think our society naturally makes it very difficult for us to ever be content with where we are in life and what has been achieved. It’s taken me a few years to recognize it myself, but there’s always “more” we can do. For some reason, even when you achieve that next goal or promotion you’ve been striving for, it doesn’t give the sense of accomplishment for very long.

This year I am really trying to slow down, appreciate the day to day moments and everything else that I typically have taken for granted.

I may not have the career I built for myself anymore, but I know there’s something bigger for me waiting. I just have to find the internal motivation to not give up and pray that when I achieve whatever I’m hoping, I can learn to be happy with where I’m at, rather than setting a new goal immediately to work at.

Does anyone else struggle with this? How do we ever find a sense of personal accomplishment if we always push for more?
