Lack

What we do.

What we make.

Where we live.

Career, Money, Living situation. These metrics don’t define who we are. Internally though, it seems like it does, or at least that is what I pine after. At times I have desired a better job, I want to make more money, I desire a bigger home,

What drives all of that? The desire for more can mask the lack of satisfaction with what you have, or maybe I am afraid of being satisfied and content. Somewhere I have told myself that satisfaction and Contentment are the equivalents of surrendering. Giving up. So instead, I pursue more. But the constant, endless pursuit of more can be tiring and frustrating.
