Discontent

Discontent.

It ought to be a dirty word... at least for me.

I struggle more with discontentment than anything else.  Perhaps it's just a symptom of perfectionism or perhaps it's really the disease itself.  I can't figure that out.  Let me know if you have any insight into the matter ;)

Nothing is ever good enough.  My expectations are always too high (and often crushed).  I'm often critical of myself and others.

I haven't found anything close to a cure, but gratitude is certainly the best medicine.
