Are we ever truly happy? Satisified? Are'nt we really greedy as human beings, that whatever we get.. we always want more. Whether Professionaly or Personally.
I have a great job, Im earning 4 times of what I used to, at the same time two years back... I should be very happy. I have a whole new wardrobe, I have a family that loves me a lot., A bunch of great friends, but Im always thinking of what I do not have.
So I asked myself what would make my life perfect? A relationship, A marriage? A luxury vaction? I really dont know... more satisfaction at work... I really dont know there's a nagging feeling thatn all is fine... its great, but there is something that can make my life bitter.
Like a friend of mine tells me.. I basically have a problem, I can never be too happy and think that all is fine, and be satisfied, I search with a microscope for reasons to be upset about. I like to disagree as I "think" Im a happy person by nature, but deep down I think Im just a cribber and greedy. Maybe its a female trait or a family trait... whatever trait it is, its not a nice trait...
But in a way its a good thing... Im on a search and never feel complacent, Im searching for something which I think will make life worthwhile rather than mere existence. As for an answer to the question "When are we truly happy" ... Well I guess we are truly happy when we choose to be happy and feel fulfilled in some aspect of life, even with something as small as a Chocolate that we have been craving for! Happiness is in my head and what I make of it.

Its not a bad thing to be dissatified with what you have - in some case - it helps you grow as you venture out to get more!
But I guess its a very thin line of difference between 'trying to get more' and becoming an eternal 'nag pot' or cribber... As long as you can balance both I think its a postive trait!
Trying to get more out of your life and not being satisfied is signs that you want more out of life and in the process of trying to get it, you too grow!
But make sure you also enjoy this growth - thats where you need to be careful and make sure you dont become a cribber! :)
Knowing you - you have not reached that stage - so jus enjoy :)
happiness is like money... the more one runs after it, the more it runs away from one...
the grasshopper just experiences the moment fully - and derives happiness from it... and who cares about the future...
hey whatever you said is 100% of what i feel......i still haven't learnt to deal with it ya & i dont think i know how to maybe 'coz i choose to.....thats where the point is.....you gotta make that choice or be blissful in the present :)
