Unfulfilled and unsatisfied life

What brings such kind of a life? Is it possible to have a feeling of unsatisfaction even in the midst of affluence?
Well, these and many more questions cloud my head as i examine my life here in Norway. Is satisfaction and fulfillment something a person decides to have or is a state that comes involuntarily?

The diagnosis of my life here tells me that atleast i have been lazy in some form of ways. I don't know whether to attribute my laziness to the change in the pattern of night and day here, or a lack of responsibility from myself. I am sleeping quite a lot nowadays, but atleast not to the extent of breaking any  known guiness record of sleeping.

One time i shared this with my team mate(Caro Sadera) and she gave a wise counsel; perhaps i am expecting too much from myself.

Last week as i had my devotions i happened to be reading from Prov 24:33-34, "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hand to rest-and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man" What a message to me? It is not that i am in such like a situation exactly but i drew lots of lessons from this proverb. I want to share them here,

• Sluggishness-Laziness can be a big contibution to an unsatisfying life, putting things off, day dreaming without ever making something come true, making excuses etc, these are very small things but look at their consequences- Poverty!!!!! and Scarcity!!!!! Now poverty can be viewed in many ways, but the worst form i guess would be the poverty of happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction and a sense of purpose in life. The other side of the coin would be the riches of frustration, dissappointment, discouragement, broken relationships etc
• Do you sometimes feel like this? How many projects have you thought of starting but not started yet? How many songs have you thought of composing yet none has been completed yet? How many books have you planned to read yet you have read none? How many...... How many......How many....
• Do you have a reason as to why you wake up? If you never had a reason then your life will be a life of responding to situations and circumstances.
• Don't invent excuses, don't put off things and have  a plan and a vision because then you have the energy to wake up every morning. God gives sleep to those he loves but he also gives us the power to control the sleeping.
• We are not active because we have the energy, but we have the energy because we are active.

I thank you Lord for your Word, its so relevant and speaks to us every time we open it. Open my eyes that i may see wonderful things in your law.
