✨ Remember the first time you got that thing you prayed so hard for? The new job, the apartment, the breakthrough? We were overflowing with gratitude. But somewhere along the way, we stop appreciating what we have and started chasing the next shiny thing.
✨ Psychologists call this the hedonic treadmill—which is our tendency to return to a baseline level of happiness no matter what we achieve.
✨ Lately, I’ve been frustrated with myself about this. I can’t just exist; I always have to be striving. Always asking: what’s next?
✨ When do we find true contentment and practice real gratitude for what God has already done? I don’t have the answers yet, but I’m sitting with this question.
Maybe you are too.
