RE: Why Gratitude Works: A Simple Explanation

in #life7 years ago

Great post! Resteemed
But don't you think that not being satisfied is what pushes you forward and helps in becoming a better person than what we previously were, take your example of apples for an instance, if we stop at 100 apples only and not strive for more then won't we become nothing at the end? Or may be stop evolving.. I hope you understand what I mean.

Yes and no. There is merit to using dissatisfaction as a fuel for growth; however, you run the risk of never having enough. That's why we have high level CEOs who aren't satisfied with their success. It is a cycle.

You can also grow organically, pushing yourself because you like it while not needing to acheive in order to validate your self worth.

I guess both the things are simultaneously important and must be present in a human though being totally contradictory to each other.
