Day 11: Stay on the grind!

The average American is consumed with wanting more. And who is to blame those of us who always strive to be at the next level? I often see people who are just so content in their place in life, where  they are and what they are doing and I can’t help but wonder is this temporary or permanent? Are they just in a good place for the moment that I am snap-shotting of their life? For me, there are brief fleeting moments where I think that everything is okay, I’m glad to be alive and have the family and friends that I have and the things that I have and I feel so blessed that I am more fortunate than others.

Then I want more. Not necessarily in a greedy way, more so in a way that I realize I am living below my potential and I almost feel ashamed that I am not working the career that is more challenging and fulfilling. I can never rest because so far, good enough just has not been good enough. Maybe one of these days I’ll be content with the exact place I am for more than a few moments, but until then, gotta keep grinding!
