If we arent constantly advancing as individuals and striving for improvments what is it we have? Should we become content with what we have and simply exist? I dont speak of this in the literal sense like your typical consumer. I dont mean fancying bigger and better cars and homes and clothes. Granted those are all good things to want but I speak more mentally and phsyically. Some items might be necessary in order to achieve those things such as my new computer I will be receiving in the next day or two. I also acquired a very nice office set for free today which I am quite pleased with. I love craigslists. Granted I didnt get them there but I believe it played a factor in this furniture being on the sidewalk for free.
To be honest I dont know WTF I am talking about. This similar to a previous post actually. I have a gorgeous GF and amazing little guy in my life who I love and adore. Our current living situation isnt ideal and rather then be content with what we have I desire more. I have had a fair aount of success playing poker and could be content with the level I am at but I am not. I am not overly obese and actually some might say look good, but I am not content. I feel I have a semi strong spiritual understanding but I am not content. Ok enough!
What I am saying is to become complacent and satisfied with your current state isnt horrible. Shit it might actually be heaven on Earth. I am not there yet thought. When I look around I see many who are content and you know what, I dont see that much joy and happiness. What it all boils down to is a question I ponder often, maybe to much. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Again and again I come to the same answer. To enjoy every moment I am alive and continue to better myself and those around me both mentally and physically.
With that said I have been having loads of fun in the last year but I feel certain areas of myself have been neglected. I need to spend more time connecting with mother nature. I need to get back in good physical health and stay with it. I killed it when I did my brothers 6 week plan but since then I have packed it all back on. I need to remove anger and hate from my heart. I need to stop passing judgment on others as we are all equal.
If you have vomitted in your mouth reading this I do apologize.

Good post. One of my favorite quotes is from legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi - "You can never be perfect. But in the pursuit of perfection, excellence can be attained." It is a great quote. I live my life by it, as I strive to get better in everything I do. Whether it is poker, golf, or making sure my wife and I have a great relationship, it is important to always think you can better.
This does not mean that you are not happy with your current situation in any aspect. I am currently at 25NL, and am working on my game. I have played winning poker before at 50NL and to some small degree 100NL, but I have never been there for long due to needing to withdrawl money and my bankroll shrinking. If I get to 100NL consistently, through hard work, I will want to be consistently good at 200NL and then 400NL. But I am happy about my progress and where I am at, because it signifies improvement.
I think I am rambling now, so I will stop. Good post.
DITTO!!!!
