Satisfaction
Satisfaction comes not from chasing bigger and bigger things, but paying attention to smaller and smaller things. (Arthur C. Brooks, author and university professor)
Any number of us have failed when trying to accomplish some grandiose project, only to discover that we have “bitten off more than we could chew” as the saying goes. Or perhaps we’re hoping to do something greater than someone else has done. Brooks suggests, however, that we’ll be much happier if we downsize our expectations and succeed the smaller efforts.
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. (Galatians 6:4)
