Some people get addicted to the dramas and disappointments of life. It becomes part of their identities, says Gregg Vanourek. They use them to rile up their ego with outrage or grievance. It can give them a strange sort of satisfaction in the moment. But overall, they’re making themselves miserable for large swaths of their life.
Last week Patrick T Malone’s post addressed the road to fulfillment. The theme continues this week as Vanourek says to let go of our chronic dissatisfaction and use it when it suits us to light a motivational fire.

Until you get dissatisfied, you won’t do anything to really move your life to another level. Dissatisfaction is a gem. If you’re totally satisfied, you’re going to get comfortable. And then your life begins to deteriorate.” -Tony Robbins
