note to self #3

One of the enduring things I've noticed in my life is the desire I experience to be more than I am at the moment. An unwillingness to allow myself to remain where I am. A desire to increase the boundaries of myself - an urge to do more, learn more, express more. An urge to improve, learn, experience, unearth, expand.

I used to think that this inner hunger meant that there was some one thing out there I needed to do or be or have. And I have spent much of my life trying to find it. Too much.

But now I know that this appetite within me is seeking more than the mate or the job or this pleasure, that power, this meaning.

It is seeking out more of me.
