Habit of contentment

The most dangerous thing that I can do right now is to be get back into the habit of contentment. Sure it is ideal to be contented with our daily activities and find happiness in all we do, but have you ever thought about it, could it have been better? We all owe ourselves this question,we do not owe success to anyone, not even to ourselves, there is no need for us to work so hard and make it better,but why do people do it? Sometimes it is for their parents, sometimes it is for their children,sometimes it is just for the fun of it. In the end, it is a kind of responsibilty, to people around you, if you can make things better, why not? Whichever the case, the habit of contentment acts as a frictional force to your dreams, the dream of a breakthrough, the dream of better days.

Like they always say, ' The enemy of a Great life, is a Good life'

Can you see if complacency plays a huge part in your life? It is great if you can, but awfully dangerous if you can't. I do not want to judge or be the one to tell you how you should live your life. But let me remind you, that you deserve better. Working, is inevitable, but who are you working for, yourselves? Or someone who has the ability to pay you and you call him/her boss? Or are you just reporting to someone whom your boss decides to pay higher, to make sure you do what you are suppose to.

Complacency lulls you and softens you, it makes you lose your hunger and your competitive edge, it makes you go through the motion like a buoy being carried by the waves.

'Everyday people settle for less than they deserve...but eveyone has the potential for greatness' - Bo Bennet.

You may think I'm full of shit, because you are really really happy with what you are doing right now, good for you! Really, I am truly happy for you.

Next you gotta take a second and look around you, many people are looking for a way out, they want to be like you, happy, how can you help them? What have you been doing to help your close friends get out of the rut? Or are you just up there, on the top, alone, is that true success? I don't know, but to me,as long as it is hard work on your own, and not at the expense of others, my conscience is clear.

Biggest mistakes you can make in life, No. 9 :
Surrendering to the draw of comfort. – The most common and harmful addiction in the world is the draw of comfort.  Why pursue greatness when you’ve already got 324 channels and a recliner?  Just pass the chip dip and forget about your grand plans.  NO!  The truth is growth begins at the end of your comfort zone.  Stepping outside of your comfort zone will put things into perspective from an angle you can’t grasp now, and open doors of opportunity that would otherwise not exist.
