Satisfied with what we have

So we live is this crazy world where things a possessions kind of RULE! What kind of car you drive, how big is your flat screen TV? How nice is your house? Home much it cost? How many karates is that ring? What is your job? What does it pay? Where is your Coach bag? Where are you vacationing? and on and on and on.

It is easy to get caught up in all this when friends and family around you have some thing you my want. I am guilty of this I always want more can't ever be satisfied with what I have. Thats just it I realize it. Being aware of it makes it better. Working on being satisfied with where I am. I mean I have it made I have a good job, I am getting married, my fiancee has a good job, we just bought a house. I have a few bikes and am able to do triathlons.

No one seems satisfied anymore. Everyone wants a different job, a bigger house, to live in a different state and on and on and on it goes. It is okay to be a little unsatisfied I mean you would have to be to move up in the work world, to have drive to succeed is one thing but jumping around trying to find satisfaction through new jobs new toys or new houses is not ever going to work. There is always something new. I mean if I went and bought a new road bike I have been wanting from Bikeworld I would be satisfied for what like a week before I had to start making upgrades on it and then I would be on to something else I am sure.

So from now on I am focusing on all the great things I have and not on all the things I want in life, I am done making myself crazy over the newest thing I have to have. Don't get me wrong I still want that new bike but I am not focused on it I am focused on all the great things I have going right now.

The grass is always greener on the other side, careful though the dog shits there too...
