Week 3 Reading The Way Things Are

I often like to think that I am a person who is always looking to make things better and to find better solutions, however, lately I find myself just settling for what I have. I don't see how desiring more can make me happy but being thankful for and using what I have helps me not to complain. However there is a difference between not complaining and reaching for the stars. I wonder if my attitude is simply just being busy and overwhelmed with life. I feel that it is challenging to look toward better things when you are simply trying to make it through the day with a smile on your face. This is going to be a goal of mine to always look for better things in life and go after them when ever the opportunity arises.

  1. Settling, challenging oneself to do ones best, and pushing because one thinks achievement will bring happiness: great questions and observations. There's a difference from settling and being at peace, I think. And there's a difference in pushing oneself to expect more versus pushing oneself because one hopes to be happy after achievement X. Wow, there's a lot here.
