Unstatisfied

Why is it that no one is truly capable of living in their life as it is now?
Why can't anyone ever say that they are where they want to be?
Always waiting for  a door to open up, a window to climb through.
Wondering what's around the next bend, when the next fork in the path will appear.

I'll be happier in a different job, it'll be easier for us when we move to a bigger house, when the kids are a little older, when the weather clears up, when we pay off our bills, when we have more money, when we spend more time together, when we spend less time together, when we talk more, when the kids go to school, when we have the weekend off, when we go out more, when we have more time at home, when we redecorate, etc...

Its always about where, when, more, less. Everything but what we have now. Now is never good enough. Is it because we were trained to always want and to never be satisfied? By our parents, our schools, the news, the world. Or are we really just instinctively unsatisfiable.

Usually when we reach the place the in our lives that we have been looking forward to, we find that even there we don't feel as though it is what we want. Again we look for something to change or recreate. We tell ourselves that we must have something to look forward to. Even when we get what we want we are not content.

Why is it so bad to just say " I am where I am. I am what I am. I just am. And I'm happy. I am content. I will accept my days as they are. I will move forward every day, but I will be content at every step along the way."

In theory its not even possible. Most would find no reason to even wake up in the morning without something to look forward to. It's a cycle without end.
