Frustration

It is amazing how life is like a roller coaster that you never seem to be able to control the direction. Each morning when we wake up we follow the same routine, we go to work or we do our normal routine running around then slowly the day wears on until night takes over again and then we start again the next day.

When do we really sit back and say what have I achieved for myself today, how has this made me a better person or how have I helped others make their life a better life.

My frustration stems from why can we not find the time to do this and why is this not the way that we should be living our lives? We always wake up wanting to do better for ourselves and for others, even those that seem to not wanting to do this but their underlying commitment to themselves if you look deep enough may actually be that they are doing it to make their life a better life or to do something for others.

It just seems to me that regardless of what we are really do is never achieving what we really want to achieve - we are always wanting something better and when we achieve that we want something else. But really - why can we not just accept and be happy with what we are at and just strive to get to where we would like to be rather than constantly pressuring ourselves to achieve something better?
