Ep129 - Content But Not Satisfied
You are invited! Every week, Dallas hosts a free, live weekly Bible study at www.EntrepreneurBibleStudy.com If you’re a faith-centered, purpose-driven Entrepreneur — a Coach, Consultant, Freelancer — come and get encouraged with a group of like-minded people.
EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Are you grateful for your life—but still hungry for more? In this episode, Dallas Amsden explores a deceptively simple phrase that holds powerful tension: Content but not satisfied. What does it really mean to live in peace with where you are, while still pursuing the higher call of your FUTURE YOU? If you’ve ever struggled to balance gratitude with ambition, or peace with purpose, this episode might be your game-changer.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why “content but not satisfied” might be the healthiest posture for growth
- The danger of confusing your results with your self-worth
- How self-hatred can sabotage your FUTURE YOU
- A simple coaching practice: The Two-Word Check-In + a Win
- How to develop a “3 + 1” gratitude and growth habit
- Why many entrepreneurs are stuck in drift, loops, or self-loathing
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- You can be grateful and still grow—those aren’t opposites
- “Content and complacent” leads to stagnation; “discontent and dissatisfied” leads to burnout
- Confusing dissatisfaction with self-hatred locks you in loops
- Anchoring to your FUTURE YOU requires both love and hunger
- Loving your present self is a requirement, not a reward
