try for contentment instead. contentment is based on appreciating what you have, not chasing what you think you want.
hmm... i'm not so sure i agree with that...
ah, but are you happy? koz i am. i'm the happiest person i know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
i don't think being content rules out making an effort to improve a situation - not at all! contentment is not the same as inactivity or inertia. perhaps i left a word out, and should have said "restlessly chasing what you think you want"?
for me, contentment is about enjoying the journey whatever the lessons learned along the way, and accepting what happens and where you get to. mostly i win, sometimes i lose, but there's always something learned, something enjoyed and something gained...
