Word of the Day.....
Satisfied....v.t.,...fulled the wants and needs
You know, some people are never satisfied. If they have a nickle, they want a dime. If they have a quart, they want a gallon. If they have an inch, they want a mile. I guess we can say they have 'It's Never Enough' syndrome. They are never satisfied with life. Things have to be bigger and better. More, more, more is their mantra. I think in the United States of America it's very easy to fall into this syndrome. We are preached to on television, in the newspapers, magazines, radios that whatever we have, someone has more and we're not really 'livin' the life' unless we have it too. Our kids aren't involved in enough activities; we don't belong to enough clubs; someone else is surely getting ahead of us, so we get on that wheel and run as fast as we can. Faster, stronger, richer, busier....surely then we will be SATISFIED. Let me throw this out.......life passes quickly. If the 'It's Never Enough' syndrome has you in its grip, then maybe it's time to reevaluate. Provide for your family and future, but let go of the syndrome. At the end of the day...week....month....year....life, I think we'll find that moments missed and never recaptured, words unspoken and never said are the things that mattered in this life. Learn to be satisfied with the air you breath, the sky you live under, the time with family and friends you're given. Be SATISFIED!
Some serious contemplation of life. My alter ego blogs on its sister blog. If there is a serious thought rumbling around your head..throw it out. I'd love to read about it!
Is that kind of like..........bloom where you are planted? Thats one of my new favorite phrases. I am trying to adopt it :)
ReplyDeleteI think so...in no way be complacent. We need to bloom. We just need to watch the amount of fertilizer we use. :)))
