I have everything that I want, yet still feel unsatisfied... What gives?
It is important to realize that satisfaction comes from within.
So, if you think that having the guy, having the body, having the money,
having the house, having the car, having the kids, is going to make you satisfied,
unfortunately you are wrong. Those things can help, for sure.
However, if we're chasing something outside of us for satisfaction,
then we're depending on something that isn't ourselves.
Our truest satisfaction comes from within,
comes from the decision to be satisfied, comes from our ability to soothe
our uncomfortable feelings, to deal with our
uncomfortable feelings. If we think that buying something will make us feel better,
or eating something will make us feel better, or going out and drinking
something will make us feel better,
we're always depending on some external source to soothe our internal discomfort.
But if we're willing to deal with our
internal discomfort and whatever it is that's going on within us,
then we can be satisfied.
Because, we are depending on us, not something outside of ourselves.
So, if you've got everything that you want and you're still feeling unsatisfied,
check in with yourself and see if you've been doing any inner work recently,
cause it seems like you might be chasing all the wrong things
when all you really need is to look inside.
