Complacency

Why, with so many great things happening in my life - health, love and blessings - do I feel so awfully complacent?

I'm getting that bell jar feeling again.... I want to scream. PMS and too much winter? I've got a week of leave coming up, maybe I'll figure it out... maybe I'm just spoilt?

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
