So I often try to tell others that you need to be happy with what you got, thankful for what you got, etc etc. But there is more to just that, when improvement is within your reach, why not grasp it? An 'improvement' per say. Something that makes you happier, something that makes your life just that little bit more meaningful.
I think some people will never be satisfied with their life. They set their goals too high, their expectations along with them. That is why everyday when I look in a mirror, I think the same thing. "As long as I am happy, there is no greater goal." I have never experienced nirvana, so I am trying to take steps towards that. Pure bliss. That is why I do the things I do, my motivation for daily life. With the dream in mind someday that I would be able to sit down without a doubt, a care, or a regret.
This goal of mine is within my grasp. Of course it is pretty far away, but I will learn to improve my reach to this. I am fine with staring at the one thing I want in life and not knowing how to hold it... yet!
Sitting in one spot stationary, contrary to popular belief, gets you nowhere. Moving gets you places, it gets you closer to where ever you are going. I tell people to be content with what they have, but then I get restless sitting there. I fidget with the thoughts of what could even be around that corner calling to me. Everyone grows up wanting things. We all want to be satisfied, so that is why we should want what makes us happy. Easy things within our grasp. In all those lame chick flick movies when the guy says, "you're everything I could have ever wanted" we all wanna feel like he does at that moment. It is clear that the two in the movie are going to end up together at the end, so that is why we should set our 'everything we could ever want' within our grasp.
So I take steps toward the nirvana. Each step is an improvement in my mind. So I can add onto the phrase of 'be happy with what you got,' with these little words of encouragement, 'be happy with what you got, but when an opportunity comes along to give yourself more and better what you got, take it.'
