A Thought About Being Unsatisfied

Is it in our human nature to just never be satisfied?

It's like the flies on the screen door analogy. Half the flies are on the inside trying to get out and the other half are on the outside desperately trying to get in. Nobody is ever happy; no one ever seems to be satisfied with where they are in life.

And then again, maybe that's the way it should be, as long as your motivation is right. Maybe we should always be striving to be better. Maybe we should always be striving to help others more; to wish we had more, so that we could give more. Sometimes being unsatisfied can be a very good thing. It moves us to take action.  Perhaps, all too often, we get to the point where we are satisfied and we stop trying to achieve; we stop trying to learn and to become better at everything God has gifted us to do. Yes, I do believe there are times when we should be satisfied and grateful for various things in our lives and we shouldn't complain, but if being satisfied is what stops us from pushing ourselves to always be the best we can be then perhaps we should rethink the whole area of always 'being satisfied with what we've got'. As long as our motivation is right and it's not just to compete with someone else and it's really just to strive to be the best we can be, then I say "WHAT'S SO WRONG WITH THAT?...... THE SKY'S THE LIMIT!"
That's it for now!
