Improvements.

I think a lot about Improvements...

It seems our lives are centered around the idea of bigger and better.

The idea of the grass being greener on the other side

I recently talked to a friend who says he gets depressed at the New Years because he looks at his life and realizes he didn't accomplish all that he wanted to that year.

I can relate to that thinking.

I have 2 parts of this blogging that I want to explore.

1.

When we deal with improvements in life...

how do we honestly know it is a improvement?

I am reminded of the thinking that we don't know what is best for us.

I think that 100 million dollars would be best for me.

is it?

There are always general improvements.

Like physically we can get in better shape or even treat people better.

I don't think either of those things could be bad.

but.

Why do I want a 80gb Ipod with a Cover Flow and Genius Capabilities.

When I have a 80gb Ipod that doesn't have them...

People in Haiti are dying...

just some ramblings.

2.

I wonder if there are different types of people

One type that wants to be better and the other that could care less.

it seems from a young age I have always wanted to be better.

Sometimes it is exhausting.

I wish I could just be content and chill at times and just enjoy life in the moment.

yet something continually makes me think of how I could improve on it.

it = life

it seems I run into people that are able to continually take this second mindset.

I am not saying it is the correct mindset

I have seen several people drift off in life into a black abyss of there own making.

Is there some form of middle ground that you can find that makes it where you can enjoy life yet still slowly move towards something better without a non-stop race mindset?

I hope eventually I can find it.

Finally.

I have never been content with my Christian walk.

I am not sure how I feel about this.

I have had people tell me you need to live your life and allow God to move through it in time.

or

To just relax and go with the flow.

but

if i am not living to better my walk with Christ.

What should I be living for?

more ramblings.
