I can't get no...Satisfaction





Ah, the eternal quest for happiness! But have you ever considered that satisfaction might just be the hidden gem you've been searching for? Happiness is like a fleeting breeze, here one moment and gone the next. Satisfaction, on the other hand, is that trusty old jumper you can't bear to part with - reliable, comforting and always by your side, no matter what life throws your way.


We often fall into the trap of thinking that more – more stuff, more excitement, more everything – will bring us lasting happiness. But satisfaction? Now that's a whole different ball game. It's a skill, the fine art of letting go and finding peace in the present moment. So, what exactly is satisfaction? It's about making peace with yourself, finding that inner harmony that doesn't depend on external circumstances. Trust me, I've been there – grappling with self-acceptance, striving for that elusive sense of satisfaction. And you know what? I've come to realize that success doesn't guarantee satisfaction, as I've seen plenty of accomplished folks still yearning for that inner calm.


For me, satisfaction has been the secret sauce to any success I've stumbled upon. It's helped me shed old habits, become a better version of myself, and maybe even a better writer (but hey, you be the judge of that!). The biggest mistake we can make is putting off satisfaction for some distant future of success. Satisfaction is a journey that starts right here, right now, no fancy titles or fat bank accounts required.


As we navigate the twists and turns of life, let's remember to trust ourselves like we would a loyal friend. Let's ditch those unrealistic standards and embrace our quirks, imperfections and any other stories we are holding about ourselves, that are simply not true. Satisfaction isn't about lazing about in a hammock all day (even though that sounds heavenly to me!) – it's a powerful force for positive change, rooted in self-love and acceptance.


So, let's bid farewell to self-criticism, embrace our uniqueness, and stride boldly towards satisfaction. You are remarkable just as you are – own it, embrace it, and let's walk this path of satisfaction together. Peace out and go get 'em superstar!
