Satisfaction Should Be Mandatory.

Tweet

Throughout our life, we aspire for more. There's a never ending itch to search for the next best thing. What we have right now is seldom cherished. Satisfaction does not mean that you have settled for less or your aggression towards your ambition has reduced, all it mean is to pause for a while, assess what you have got, pat yourself for all you have done.Appreciate yourself, your dear ones and your surroundings. I agree it's become a competitive world more than ever, but we have the same emotional level yet. We still have the same human emotions majorly happy or sad. (although confused or tired are more likely used these days!!) We have the same reactions to the circumstances we face as to what used to be with our ancestors. We have majored in all fields, new advancements in technology, new job prospectives, new business projects but our emotional setup have no innovation, I haven't come across any new emotions developing in humans along with the technology, which might be the reason why people are drifting from happier to a sadder state. The pressure of the world to be continuously setting up new goals and trying hard to achieve them cannot be burdened onto our underdeveloped human psyche. Even the most successful people are suffering from insecurities, depression and even attempting suicide. As a commoner, I fail to understand what would have gone wrong in their life!! Celebrities, Industrialists and other multi-millionaires, they certainly have no dearth of money (which is most widely linked to happiness and satisfaction), neither do they have any major worry for survival or failure in their near future and yet the news of such highly successful people despising their life is very common. I was in a friendly interaction with a bunch of friends and one of them is comparatively high achiever than the rest. He has it all, what it takes to comes under a high class/high profile society stature. So, the rest of us were asking and coaxing him about his new found success, and all we got from him was a plain " Yeah its ok, not so great as you guys think !!" Mind you, those words were not out of modesty, there was pure gloom in his eyes. The conversation took a different course and went on but I got stuck. I kept on pondering over the fact that all of us were envious of his success and he has no satisfaction, he is not even close to happiness, all he said was "I work and make money." with a straight face. No mental peace is a disease in itself, and most of us are harboring this disease. You know what they say " Journey matters more than the destination". So each stage of your journey should be celebrated. Process each stage, it might not be the best yet but you have come along a far way, we say time is running but is it so important to run with the time that we forget the basic necessity of life ??? Satisfaction is not optional, it is prerequisite !!
