Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.

The word for today is discontent. Have you ever had a moment where you realize that things need to change? In their insightful book, The Power of Moments, Chip and Dan Heath describe Roy F. Baumeister’s phrase the crystallization of discontent. This occurs when we find the motivation to create major change for ourselves among minor areas of discontent. When your car breaks down for the 6th time, you might suddenly see the pattern of your low wage job, subpar housing, and constant stress and decide to apply for federal grants to begin night classes at the local college.

Today’s concrete challenge is to list your areas of discontent. Write down at least five areas of your life where you feel things are lacking. What’s the pattern that you find? Can you think of a life change that would address multiple areas of discontent? 

Use the next few minutes of this podcast to make your list. I’ll keep the music playing for you.

Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
