discontent, and a sense of entitlement

i hope to expand on this (given my personality i probably won’t :), as it dovetails with some stuff i’ve picked up this week, concerning musicians, ‘christian music’, and hip hop, as well as some personal goings on.

its interesting to have different people view a situation:

one feeling relieved, and grateful, to have a burden off of their backs

another feeling upset, because in addition to the burden being off, they wanted more. they’re still heavy.

is the former not aiming high enough, and just “settling”, setting themselves up for a life of under par achievement? or is the latter setting themself up for a life of discontent?

i want to do what God appreciates the most.

    wow your post has me curious. give us more. I am always quite interested in people’s response to things post GMA. I didn’t get to see too much in Hip Hop world. But heard a couple things to make me cringe (not from any of your crew though).
