No one can get the best of both worlds

Growing up, I have experienced liking different stuffs, different professions I want to be when I get older, different crushes and other things. But I realized lately, when I had my "right mind", you can never really get all that you want - you can dream to attain them, but one will never be contented with what he or she has or have attained. There's always that something that we lack in our lives. At some short moment in our lives, we can feel so complete, but sooner or later, we're gonna find something to make us feel complete again. The main reason? Because we're just HUMAN; and as humans, I believe that it is our nature to be "worldly". As the world changes, we tend to change too, right? What do you think about this? :)

Human will want to achieve more and more..we can't be satisfied with whatever we have obtained..we'll be looking forward to achieve or gain more till our life ends..and thats reality..the goal may be different for everybody but after achieving or reaching to destination,there will be another one ready to be reached.so life goes on and we have to change accordingly....

Yeah, we can't get the best all the time either. This is a principle of the world .Everyone has a chance to be successful,so every one should be diligent.But Everyone shouldn't be greedy so she or he should be content with and grateful to what he or she has .

Hi katsantos, there is a thing in each of us called "Drive"... Different things drive each of us to varring degrees... It creates a state of internal tension that must be released before we become satisfied and reach a state of (Homeostasis)... There for a while we feel satisfaction or pleasure... Its what causes us to keep on keeping on... The more we experience and grow and realize our dreams and ambitions the more we can be happy... To understand where you are on your journey read about "Maslows Heirarchy of Needs"... Once I read about that I was able to get some perspective on where Im at and why... It gave me a sense of direction and purpose...

I do believe that we cant have the best of both world if we do it one time. I say take it one and at a time and you may have the best of everything. I think being not contented in life is what making us successful because we aspire to have more to be better at what we do .But I also recognize the fact that with being discontented in life, we suffer from dissatisfaction and if some people don't know how to handle it may lead to depression. I think we are build to be competitive in order to survive just like any animals. And because of the fight for survival as the world change we changed too.
