We seek better — no matter what it be, we wish for it to become better... This is an insatiable urge — we can never have enough. Contentment is a death wish. Contrary to this belief — Buddha's enlightenment mantra is total detachment. A middle path is what I'd believe is required for true balance and centeredness in life. Detachment allows objectivity and desire to get better inspires progress — the perfect balance will ensure progress made towards objective goals.
There is a price to pay for everything, but a good deal is one where what you pay buys something worth more to you. If we can see our existing experience and knowledge that we trade in for experiences and wisdom as allowing us to become better — we are making a profitable exchange. If we succeed in monitoring and being aware of this exchange in every instant of our life and every transaction of energy we make, we are most likely to remain centered and in control of our lives.
We are magnets and with every object, entity or experience we accept to trade with we welcome into our field a force that will attract an entire plethora of similar energies. We are what we surround ourselves with; our life averages out to reflect the people, things, and experiences we have called into it.
People spend their entire lifetime finding others to blame for their dilemma, but you never find enough people who do the same when they have to credit someone for their grace. If we reverse this practice — the energy of gratitude alone will turn into a magnet of positive energy that will attract everyone around to give more. And by choosing to become aware of every single energy we attract and allow into our life carefully — we take control of our lives and no longer remain victims striving to survive, but turn into enlightened beings living to thrive.
