On Discontentment
Been feeling rather unhappy for most of the past month - issues with work, family, relationships, friends... everything.
For the longest time, I had examined most of these issues, and pretty much found that I was just not contented with what I had. I beat myself up almost everyday for feeling that way.
Well, no longer.
Just for today, I will embrace discontentment.
Why?
Discontentment makes you sit up and think.
Discontentment makes you hungry for something better, to seek ways to improve - first yourself, then the situation around you.
Discontentment pushes you out of that comfort zone, to get off your fat lazy butt and throw some punches at your opponents.
Yes, this definitely means that I've thrown all conventional wisdom out the door.
As long as I have a direction and purpose today, I don't care if I don't find contentment.
