#259 What dictates your day

You’re dissatisfied with your social life, but not so much that you feel terribly lonely – so you don’t change anything.

You’re dissatisfied with your physical fitness, but not so much that you’re in pain every day – so you put up with slow deterioration.

You’re dissatisfied with your current job, but not so much that you’re dragging yourself to work – so you put up with unfulfilling days.

Being satisfied with some areas of your life is good.

Being intensely dissatisfied with some areas of your life is fine, too – because that unhappiness can be the leverage you need to make a change.

But comfortable dissatisfaction – that’s the zone where dreams and happiness go to die. And boy, have I spent a lot of time there.

So I hope you are satisfied with your life, my friend.

And if not, I hope you’re at least intensely dissatisfied.

Let that be the fuel you need to take action to change.

“You already know what I’m going to say,” the mentor I don’t have tells me.

It’s true.

I don’t need anyone to tell me what to do.

Neither do you.

All you need is someone to remind you to do what you already know.

If you had constant presence of mind, you could remind yourself.

But if you’re anything like me, your clarity gets lost in day-to-day desires, worries, and chores.

And that’s fine.

Because that’s what you’re here for, no?

Not to learn what your life should look like but to receive a reminder to live it daily?
