Satisfaction… February 17, 2007

During my jogging this afternoon, I kept chewing on some thoughts in mind about “personnel satisfaction” , so thought why not sharing the opinion and here I am scribbling down this few lines . Am I satisfied? What would satisfy me? Or what would satisfy me more, still if I do feel satisfied? I believe at least once on a time you have asked yourself that question. Might be on a slightly different way to sound like “Am I happy” , so does happiness mean satisfaction !? Don’t know….emh, same meaning..Can’t see any difference. The Chicken or the Egg!? I believe if am satisfied, I would say am happy. I see myself using “if” which logically would tell that am not satisfied. What I may lack of to feel so! What people would compute, evaluate or put figure on so they come up with an honest answer. Is it the traditional equation of money, power, fame and love!? Ok don’t look for fame, want enough money to live a decent life and get all I may want having, believe that power is useless and love is something that we may pass by , so all in all that’s not the right equation. I believe a person may not reach satisfaction…like 100%- no discount-but would be happy if he succeeds to reaching some of the goals and life milestones he did put on. Am just denying myself , sorry for the confusion. Why am saying he’ll not be fully satisfied? Frankly speaking, I always put high expectations on myself and this sometimes makes life damn thorny; cause u’re struggling to show up at all levels, to do ur best, to give and give so u can surmount obstacles and head to the top (not just professionally) but u do not always get where u want. The road is long and full of surprises. It’s always challenging and certainly gives meaning to life. But shall we low down our self expectations to eventually get there, up to satisfaction. Definitely not ! I rather prefer to not be fully satisfied then seeing my life expectations heading down.
To be all the time unsatisfied is Human., because all the time we want and we need more and more. Because we used not to be satisfied but to compare our satisfaction with other’s satisfaction
Ok; that’s a subject i like
and i finally got time to write down a comment on what you’ve been thinking.
Satisfaction is a key factor to let ourselves be happy. But happiness is about enjoying our lives. The difference i see in those two terms is about that: i can feel happiness today because i had good times with friends, familly, etc..But tomorrow, i’ll take a look at my life and think of some objectives i’ve set to be achieved and find that they are not..So i’ll be filled with unsatisfaction. But this unsatisfaction should not ruin my life..I do agree with you to keep high self expectations..If we don’t believe that we deserve the best how can we reach it then?

but i don’t agree with that: “u’re struggling to show up at all levels” as i told you i’m more and more convinced that accepting that we have limits (we can’t do so many thing at a time) is a healthier way of living we should also accept having conflicts with others and trying to do with it.
