Been busy and I haven't been sharing from this awesome book as I read, as I had intended. So I will take a moment to do so now.
"We suffer for the simple reason that suffering is biologically useful. It is nature's preferred agent for inspiring change. We have evolved to always live with a certain degree of dissatisfaction and insecurity, because it's the mildly dissatisfied and insecure creature that's going to do the most work to innovate and survive." I could share the rest of the paragraph but I am going to leave you mildly dissatisfied and recommend that you get this book! I think we often dream of having a perfect life, I know I do. But when I think about it, the point here is very valid, If everything was great I wouldn't strive to make things better. In part that sounds like it would be a good thing, it would be great if things were always great, but on the other hand, it would also be awfully boring! And then we'd have to strive to make it not boring!
