Being satisfied

[jay santos]

Indulge me for a serious moment.

This song has had me in reflection the past few weeks.

You spend your life preparing for this competitive world. Focus on achievement and success. Get better grades, do better athletically, get your eagle scout, become more spiritual, become more worthy, improve yourself. Never be satisfied, always want more and seek for it. Go for the promotion. Be better than you are now.

Maybe we have it wrong. Maybe the key to life is to be satisfied with what you have or more importantly who you are.

Are you going to adopt that philosophy with BYU sports?

[Flystripper]

Its been covered by more than 20 famous artists. I prefer The man in Black to Jeff Buckley...sorry.

I wish I could. I'd probably be happier. For some reason it's easier with basketball than football.

We are so much better at seeing what's not there than what is already there.

We could stand to learn a thing or two from the philosophies found in Buddhism and Hinduism. Nonattachment, acceptance, letting go of greed, craving, and strivings.

I think Sheyl Crow said it best

It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

[mUUser]

I'd think a little of both is true -- work to be satisfied with your progress, but don't be satisfied enough to stop.

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad.

If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?

I can never seem to get the balance.

I've always liked the Sheryl Crow line "it's not getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got."

Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Now I'm in all the papers
