Satisfaction

Stop for a second. Look at your life. Look at where you’ve come from. Look at how you’ve grown up. Look at the decisions you’ve made. Look at your accomplishments, look at your failures. Look at every aspect of your life. Take a second and analyze. Now, answer this. Are you satisfied?

We tend to want what we can’t have and have what we don’t necessarily want.

We all want to be loved. But with love comes so many other things. There is sacrifice and commitment and change. We all want it, but not all of us are willing to give what it takes. We all want to be trusted. Trust is far beyond any other virtue. It screams responsibility, care, comfort, and understanding. Innocent until proven guilty, trust provides. We all want to be strong. We want the strength to pull through and overcome. We want that strength. But it’s something that has to be worked on and built upon.

So, if those are things we want but can’t have in the snap of a finger, then what DO we have?

We have family to guide us. We have music to appease us. We have writing to express ourselves. We have God to pick us up when we need it. We have our life and as terrible as we think it is sometimes, we still have a chance to make a change and find that love, strength, and trust.

Take a second. Stop, and think about your life.

Are you satisfied yet?
