Are you
satisfied?
Are you
unconsciously searching?
Do you go
off in tangents looking for….…….? You might not know what!
Someone said
to me recently, that they never felt satisfied with their life. That it seems
to be a pattern for them. A concern because its keeps them moving away from
uncomfortable situations, or towards something perceived as better, or just
trying this and that.
I remember a
time when someone said that to me…….”You’re never satisfied”. It did stop me in
my tracks for a second or two. And I asked myself….”Am I or am I not?” Since obviously
I have remembered that comment, there must have been some impact. What I
thought at the time was…..isn’t it okay to not be satisfied? Isn’t that how we
grow?
I’m guessing
that there are different levels or parts to this being satisfied. We can feel
satisfied and still want to change and grow. Satisfaction does not mean
stagnation. Satisfaction does not mean avoiding any chance to expand and grow.
Satisfaction might mean acceptance of circumstances just now, in this moment,
without precluding being open to possibilities.
Dissatisfaction
with life could mean that the person is on a mission to discover the meaning of
life, to discover themselves, to find out who they really are. Dissatisfaction
can provide the energy to expand, to open up and shift thinking. A person could
find themselves trying different modalities, going for readings, starting
practises to help fix themselves. Do you?
Dissatisfaction
can turn into a search. A search for what? Maybe a search for someone to tell
you the mysteries of life. Or who you really are? Maybe you want to be told. You
might decide to believe what someone else says.
Or, you
could turn this around. Instead of going on a search outside, why not go on a
search inside you. How? As humans, we just pile up the knowledge, the emotions,
and the wrong beliefs about ourselves all our lives….…….all on top of who we
really are. It’s a matter of getting
underneath all that stuff and then you can discover your self. You can discover
the part of you that is unchanging. The part of you that is you.
For me, stopping
the external search has revealed what I am not. It has given me multiple
experiences of the truth of me. Am I satisfied with my life? Yes.
And I continue
to be vigilant for the patterns and behaviours that are not the real me. So
that, in the moment, I can choose differently. I can choose truth.
