Quarter 3: Journal 4- Ian C's latest blog

So just before writing this journal, I read Ian Cassidy's latest blog entry, and people (applied.) And thought it was quite interesting. I was glad to see myself on the last list, because I feel like I've given a lot of effort to earn my spot there, and I truly hope that he recpiprocates those feelings (in a platonic way). I think he does, since I can see them through his actions. However, there was another list that intrigued me especially. The one about "The happiest people know what they have, not what they want." I'm not surprised that I'm not on that list by any means, since I can be very needy, which may or may not come off as ungrateful to others. However, I would like to better myself in that category specifically, and try and not have to know what I want so much. At the same time, however, I want have ambitions, and I think there's a thin line between ambitious and grateful. I don't want to hold on to things that I have, in fear that they'll keep me behind. I want to move on to new things, in hope that they'll keep me going. So is always wanting more, really that bad? Because if you're content, then what is your motivation exactly? (Hopefully this is prompting Ian for another TOK blog). I'm not entirely sure how to find this balance. But in an attempt to better myself, I'm willing to go to hell and back to find it. TEACH ME RESH.
