Now a days we hear everybody is unhappy with their life in one or other way. It's like part of satisfaction is lost somewhere .we humans are greedy , everything we have achieved is always been less to us,so we try to gain more.no matter in what way and at what speed we are destroying our surrounding environment and species. one thing what we need to understand is satisfaction never comes by fulfilling our desires which are virtually endless.it's like buying a new car or new cell phone you are never satisfied with same one and you keep looking for something better every time you go to the seller. Here, I would like to quote satisfaction comes in three way. It may be social satisfaction or professional or personal . social satisfaction is your repute in society. Professional is your work and personal Satisfaction is how do you feel about your life.your self.your work. In Steve jobs's way when you go to bed tonight and ask your self what I did today is it what I want to do with my life ? And of the answer is yes then you are satisfied. But question emerges here is why do we need to be satisfied with our selves ? What's the basis of satisfaction ?
To the date i have failed to find the perfect answer but in the process I have learned that satisfaction is not stationary. It's not a state which once achieved remains there forever.its continuous process;less like lake,more like river it self. It runs along with our virtues.karma , here also important is concept of happiness. Happiness is not the money in your bank account,it's not buying privet jet and roaming around.All I wanna say is its not physical but purely intellectual concept, happiness only comes through satisfaction in whatever things we do in our daily routine life.
But the question is how to satisfy our selves ? The simple answer is by doing whatever is right in different situation. People frequently argue that in many situations there is not just black and white area. There's always grey area where you can't find right answer. But here first we have to define what the right thing is ? How right you think is right ? Is it right if its good for you or it is right If its right for people around you ? If we try to answer every facet of this question the answer would become to complex and difficult to understand. Here also Steve Jobs might help,His speech at Stanford commencement in 2005 is one of the best I have heard; One part I liked most was that he said since past 30 years I used to wake up in the morning,stand in front of the mirror and ask my self what if today is last day of life. Things I m going to do today how would I do it ? Cause death is our greatest fear,In front of death you are naked you have no excuse. Cause instinct never lies or disappoints. You will always find right answer from within. This is not something hasn't talked about but fact is we never listen to that inner voice that leads us to correct way. Now why is that ? Because as the time passes as we are evolving more and more (I don't know in which way) we are being more and more self centred . Very little we care about the people who are inferior to us . It's not we are totally insensitive but when it comes to make decisions somehow we lose it find the way where our benefit lies . But remember this never brings you satisfaction .
