I dog-eared a page in a book I’m reading by the phenomenal Byron Katie. I wanted to share with you her thoughts on our human nature to be dissatisfied. It seems as if we go around in life perfectly happy until the slightest thing makes us uncomfortable. As we search for comfort, we become even more uncomfortable. We forget that we were indeed comfortable, and we end up getting kicked out of our own little piece of heaven with our attention now shifted and focused on what’s making us uncomfortable. Our peace flees us and we are left insecure and eagerly seeking improvement. Instead of flailing around trying to become “better,” we should realize that in doing so we’ve actually stepped out of heaven. In other words, let’s remember how great we’ve really got it. Count your blessings. Seek improvement, but remember to stay grounded.
