Gratification: IS WHAT YOU'RE INVOLVED IN GRATIFYING?
This question encompasses so much of life, do we actively have a source of satisfaction or pleasure in our lives? Is what we use our physical and mental energy on gratifying?
If that is day to day work for you, or a relationship, a craft or possibly an exercise; do you receive more than a pheromone high from it ? Let’s not think of gratification as a momentary chemical reaction or that flickering smirk of a job well done. Gratification isn’t the way you rest your head at night with your arms behind your head, peering at the ceiling as if to announce, “I did my best with what I had” when the day has come its close.
Gratification cannot be just the trophy we place in the case to nod at or polish from time to time.
Isn’t it more? Well, it must be !
It isn’t enough to experience happiness, for that is simply a fleeting emotion. There is a genuine joy to be experienced from how we live our days; and gratification can truly be an active state of being.
So are you finding gratification in life, or not ?
