Satisfaction Beware


It’s great to win, but beware of satisfaction.

The tendency for many humans is to begin to cruise or settle back when they experience a few wins. But the fact is that if you’re not moving forward, you’re probably going backwards.

So what are some ways to ensure that you’re not overtaken by a satisfaction relapse?


  • Have a fresh goal in place that will keep your motivation fires burning.
  • Place yourself in an environment of growth, because growth demands change.
  • Make yourself accountable to someone who wants you to win.
  • Pronounce your new goal ‘out loud’ for others to hear, and then you will have to keep moving forward.
  • Surround yourself with people who are more successful than yourself.
  • Embrace problems and chase challenges until you see victory.
  • Think creatively.

So I suppose my point is this: Live in a constant state of dissatisfied satisfaction and always choose to break out of your comfort zone.

For in order to continue on a pathway of growth it is so important to stay alive to fresh ideas and fresh inspiration. That way, every day will become an exciting adventure, and you’ll never find yourself stuck in the boggy waters of satisfaction
