I just read an article where the author said:
“Happiness is being happy with who you are and what you have”
pfff, i think it’s one of the worse believes you can possibly have.
Life is not about staying the exact same person, life is about changing and growing:
Even if you don’t want to, you’re changing.
Just look at your pictures every year and you’ll see that you’re … aging ^^
And if you are not satisfied there are good reasons:
therefore changes need to be made.
It is useless to be polite and say that everything is all right.
Not being satisfied is an emotional signal that tells you change something.
So just being happy with an unsatisfying situation is like being deaf to your own feelings and intuition.
Actually dissatisfaction is negative when it turns into frustration.
Some people get frustrated, but they only complain, and don’t change a at all.
So frustration is just growing and growing.
But dissatisfaction is positive when it becomes a drive to change, to grow, to learn, to experiment…
It creates the necessary pain to move, to open your mind, try new ideas.
In that sense it is a very positive and powerful signal, that everyone should listen to.
Still there is one very important thing:
Even if you are not satisfied with who you are, you still should love yourself just as you are now.
Many people wait to change and become a “better person” to love themselves
But loving yourself should be the starting point for your change, not the end
Accept yourself and love yourself right away, just the way you are now
Self-love must be unconditional (and real love should be unconditional too by the way ^^)
If you love yourself now, you accept the reality of your self, and you gain power to make it better
You can be dissatisfied and still love yourself, these are two completely different things
Just use your dissatisfaction to grow and love yourself even more!
