Are you also eager to become better, but always feel that your thinking and behavior is just an ordinary person, and feel quite satisfied with food, clothing and housing, which should be considered contentment, right? But when I want to get a bigger house and move to a big city, isn't that motivation just not being satisfied with the status quo? Isn't that not being satisfied? So aren't contentment and advancement inherently contradictory? I always want to pursue a better life, but I comfort myself with contentment. It's confusing, what should I choose?
Hi, how are you, my friend? I am the enthusiastic respondent of the lofty emotions, especially fortunate to be able to meet you for the first time in this platform.
I can totally understand how you feel about vacillating between being content and striving for advancement.
Hugs!
⭕️ A simple compendium of the core of the problem:
There is really no end to human desires, such as having a house and wanting to change to a big city, and having a big city and dreaming of a foreign country or a beach house. This is the incessant longing of our hearts. And to be contented is to be satisfied with the life in front of us.
So how do you reconcile the two?
⭕️ Psychological perspective: Motivation will energize the mind Let me share my personal opinion: When we want to achieve a certain goal, this is motivation, which can push us to mobilize our full strength to achieve. However, sometimes the results are not as expected due to the limitations of the environment, ability and other factors, and if the goal is not achieved, the mindset will be easily imbalanced, resulting in self-doubt or a sense of frustration.How does ⭕️ fix this?
Set goals that are realistic for your situation First look at your current situation, and then set reasonable goals. It is important not to forget the beginning, for example, many people who struggle from the countryside feel that being able to establish a foothold and have a home in a big city is success. But for some people with a high starting point, this may not be enough. So it is recommended to set goals from their own vertical comparison. Way to go friend, and I'm always rooting for you. I hope my sharing brings you a touch of warmth.
