Dissatisfaction is not a bad thing

Dissatisfaction is not a bad thing. Its nature of the mind to stay dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction arises from unfinished desires. Mind is the factory where desires are manufactured. Its those desires that create the need and its a well known fact that need is the mother of invention. So, in a way desires drive innovation and evolution is the result of that innovation. Nature has built our mind in such a way that it remains dissatisfied and thus we constantly keep evolving and create new experiences and stay involved (not get bored with our existence).

Knowing that the nature of mind is to feed on desires (that it generates LOL) is very evident from our own lives. When we were kids we wanted to go to the next level of class (fast), then get out of school and ‘enjoy’ college life but the moment we stepped into college our minds dropped that ‘desire/craving/wish’ like a hot rod and stretched towards another desire of getting a job, then followed better job, then marriage, kids, and it goes on and on and on. In business its the same thing have you ever noticed satisfaction in WallStreet? believe me you wont find it there.. ever! and its the same nature of our mind at work, stay dissatisfied with what you have in hand and keep running after the next goal…. You see where this is going… we keep running after that which we dont already have.. running running running until the life force in the body ends and then what?… does it end there?…. well.. not really…. Those desires will bring you back to this planet (or some other in another dimension or in this same universe) and your mind will continue to do what it does best… 🙂 OH! and what about those desires that were born in the previous lifetimes? they will have their impressions in this lifetime and will also get multiplied when you share those desires with others around you 🙂

When you have mastery on your desires you’ll know how to handle other’s desires and thereby make you a better communicator and leader. You’ll know how to manage other people much better and give them better incentives (based upon their own desires for money, power, promotion, praise etc). You will get better in strategy to decide the future course of action for your business.

The one who understands this nature of mind (as i described above) will become mind-full of it and will let the mind do its tricks.. not fight with it but see it in action and smile back at it .. sometimes even play with it but yet stay in control instead of dancing like a mad monkey jumping from one desire to another. This mindful observation of this nature of mind is sometimes called meditation.
