Welcome to the What Drives You podcast. I'm Kevin Miller. I produce this show to help us all

continually discover where we want to go, why, and how to best get there, as we enjoy the daily

drive as much as the destinations we want to reach.

In this episode, contentment and how to reconcile your continual pursuit of growth.

Have you ever struggled with feeling maybe a twinge of guilt for

your desire to continually grow and change, wondering if you should just feel

content and grateful for where you are and it's selfish to desire and want anything more,

especially if you're mainly surrounded by others who seem to just be okay with the way things are.

And I'm actually not going to justify and make a big case to help you feel better.

I'm with you, by the way.

But I'm going to ask some questions and just give some reframing to think about,

such as do you grow because you're content with who you are and what you have now,

or is changing and evolving just part of your natural DNA, maybe our natural DNA as humans.

Hey, what drives you, it does become the journey of your life,

so we're here to help you enjoy the ride better right here, right now. So drive with me a moment. Let's talk about what

drives your pursuit of growth. If you're listening to this show and shows like this in the personal growth, self-improvement area,

and reading books and whatnot, you obviously have some desire in you. What is it? What's driving you? Now, it can sometimes

be some negative things. Expectations of others, feeling like you're not enough, fear. I've had some of those.

I've had some things driving me before I say I've had, I think we're all on the the spectrum I don't know if I'll ever get rid of them

But I've had some really bad driving experiences driving from negative influences so of course we want to look at that and look at the why to understand what is driving.

That's what my book is about. That's what it walks you through. My book, what drives you.

Well, we want to look at what's driving you.
