Why You're Never Satisfied

The reason we never feel satisfied is because we're constantly looking for satisfaction in the future, which means we cannot be satisfied now. But why is that?
Here are four reasons that you can take with you and think about, and as fair warning you might want to hold on to your seat!

Which reason resonated with you the most?

@mpatreece2726 3 жыл бұрын

#2 - Ignoring the thing I want and chasing an easier goal. 😶

Number 2, for me.😏

#1. I don't know what I want, but I know I need to experiment with new things to find out. However, I'm stuck in my comfort zone and am afraid to try new things.

It took me 55 years to figure this out. One word…simple. Simple finances (no debt), relationships ( cut off toxic friends, siblings, parents, spouse/girlfriend), employment (no stress), diet (lose weight so you have great health in the future), stuff (less is more) etc. Maybe another word to use is peace.

Never be satisfied. Always be grateful but not satisfied. When you become satisfied you stop growing and learning. Don't rest at the middle. Rest at the end!

I don't get satisfied with money... I am into a retail business, and recently I noticed am almost always thinking about getting more money...it's as if I don't value my profits or even take the time to enjoy it wisely... the more it comes, the more I need more and I am just not satisfied... I will spend a little today and be grateful that I can earn outside my 9-5 work and learn to be satisfied because God always provides my needs .... He always does

This is like the universe speaking too me. Recently I hit 1K subs on my channel yet I am only receiving about 30views per video. It got me down but I realized if I am doing my purpose, the people will come along! Sitting and pouting won’t help. Depending on an app to make me happy too wouldn’t help

Love this. The last point I have also found so vital and true. When I'm struggling and feeling down or frustrated I ask myself what can I learn from what I am experiencing right now. Then, when I'm ready I try to take it a step further and make a commitment to offer the lessons I've learned to others--could be as simple as an Instagram post or something. This has helped my find meaning in the struggle. Thanks so much for this reminder.

I think a huge problem is that people "get tired of living their life for everyone else" and "finally decide to do things their way regardless of the way it makes someone else feel. "It is better to give than it is to receive " These words ring true through and through...unless you are truly a narcissistic or psychopathic individual. If you're a giving, loving person who always puts others first, not only will you find true contentment, but your name will be known in your town, people will love you and trust you. Serve others and stop living for yourself. Look where its got you, right? Empty or always complaining and never being happy. In my practice I've seen this so many times. So sad how easy contentment is to obtain.

Such a great video - so true!! I always pursue my dreams, even if other people believe they are impossible, and although it’s challenging, it’s so rewarding when I achieve them! I have noticed that other people get envious/try to put me down, because I am happy, even when things are tough - they have given up/stay in their comfort zone, while I have a goal to work towards and that keeps my spirits up! 😻

I can not explain nor stress how much this video came into the perfect time of my life. I'm talking/going on dates with someone who is a blessing. She is something new to me in all aspects of love. And recently I started feeling all of this. I was never like this. I was on cloud 9 and everything, but then I noticed I've been falling. This video made me realize because I dont have a sense of direction for my life. And now that I have someone potential will be apart of my life for the long run. I fell into this feeling. I'm going to do all the tips and steps you gave. Because i know it will help me accept this happiness i deserve in my life while at the same time taking it to a new level. So thank you!💙🙌🏽
