Question:
Hello Deepak,
I am 39 yrs old and have constant desire to do something or the other. Learn new things ,meet people, join different groups etc. I don’t know what I am searching for exactly. I have been advised by friends to be happy and satisfied with what I have but I feel it is death. My basic instinct is to learn and explore. Remaining satisfied with what I have will rot me, it is stagnancy for me. I am pro growth at any age, over most opportunities I come across and can handle. It gives me a mental satisfaction that I am not only doing my routines but also taking part in what the world is offering me at a given point of time. I am enriching myself. But in doing so I have realised that the happiness of the past events don’t stay with me. I am always looking for new things and new thrill. Do I need to look within? Do you think I should change something in me?
Response:
There’s nothing wrong with growing, learning and exploring. That is the nature of life. However, this new growth doesn’t lead to a sense of wisdom, compassion and real happiness if there is not a stable, contented inner Self upon which it can build. If we feel empty and reject our present reality, then no amount of stimulus or searching will fill that hole. I think that is what your friends are pointing at. They don’t want you to stop growing and enriching yourself. They only want you to do it from a place where you feel good about yourself, and feel grateful for the blessings in your life. That feeling of gratitude and contentment doesn’t mean you feel complacent or stagnant—just the opposite. It provides the value and sense of direction for your desire to grow, learn and improve your world.
Love,
Deepak
Deepak said it good. If people dont have stimulus, they create stimulus. Nice opinion. Maybe it is about positive thinking, motivation.

Doing volunteering work for others without expectations is a key to fulfilment. One day a very wise man said: "I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way, you must assist those who are weak and must keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said: ‘There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’” Wouldn't you agree?
