Dissatisfaction

Yes, Life can be difficult. There are times when everything seems to be going smoothly. You are satisfied with what you have, with what you are, with the people you deal with, with the circumstances you are living in. Unfortunately, there are plenty of times when you are not satisfied at all. On the contrary. Most things seem to be going wrong and you are not happy. You are not satisfied with what you have because you feel you don’t have enough; you are not satisfied with what you are because you feel you are not behaving in the right way (but you don’t know otherwise). The people around you seem unpleasant, situations difficult to face, problems impossible to solve. Imagine yourself facing a difficult situation, now, and ask yourself, “How do I face a predicament?” (With courage or with fear? With resentment or hopelessness? With rejection or with the expectation that others solve it for me?)
