Why do I sometimes have a hard time being happy, when I have an amazing life?
I have no complaints. I am blessed beyond recognition. I have no major issues. A happy family, healthy body, no drama and options on what to do with my life.
So what’s the problem?
I realize the problem is me. There are things I have not yet seen, done and conquered and it bothers me. It bothers me because I know there is more I am capable of and haven’t yet scratched the surface. It is not an ego thing. It feels like I am not getting to where I want to be fast enough and it is requiring me to do some soul-searching.
I am realizing that an amazing life with all the fixings doesn’t mean I will be all the way happy. It’s amazing in many ways (spouse and family), not so in others (major aim not completed yet). It’s almost that paradox of finding a genie and getting what you wished for.
