I Can"t Get No Dissatisfaction

This week, I told my neuropsychologist I plan to run again.  In an effort to make me happy with my current self, she told me I might always use my wheelchair.  I had a very difficult time accepting that statement.  I don't envision myself as a disabled person.  I envision myself as a runner, and every day I work towards achieving that vision.  I don't express this as dissatisfaction with myself.  In fact, I think many people look to me for inspiration.  Every day I wake up with the goal of doing something positive that day.  I hope a person can learn to live in a state of satisfaction without being complacent.

I think your reaction and response is spot-on. Contentment and satisfaction can live very nicely in harmony with dreams, ambition and aspirations.
