Be dissatisfied, be grateful

Thursday June 19, 2003

Life is precious and fragile. Live your life to the fullest by following two rules:  
1) Be dissatisfied
2) Be grateful

Be dissatisfied. Don't let life carry you along like a leaf in a current of waters. Find what is important to you and pursue it. Discover your passions, whether it be family, a hobby, or a dream. Create goals. Strive to make a difference in this world, however small. Always work towards self improvement. Be critical and examine the world around you. Take advantage of your potential. Use your time wisely to take baby steps towards fulfillment of your dreams and this will make you feel good.

Be grateful. Appreciate the world and the people around you. Respect others. Take time to recognize that you would not be who you are without these people in your life. Make an effort to understand their dreams, their passions, and what drives them. Be a motivating force in helping them to achieve their dreams and this will make you feel great.
