Pretty good stuff. The point is it does not have to be complicated.
I can be perfectly happy with what I have right now, and still ask for more of it in the future. I am not unhappy with the present moment - how should I when I deeply feel that every moment is just perfect. But what I can do in the present moment is to ask questions and seek answers. If that leads me to anything dowsn't matter, it's still fun to me. As Steve writes in his article Self-Acceptance vs. Personal Growth, it's not either-or, but you can enjoy both at the samt time.
