I would rather stay dissatisfied and strive to improve myself than lie back feeling satisfied.
That's my personal preference. If I was satisfied I wouldn't be driven to improve. And in fact, that could even cause problems that ultimately make me more unhappy.

No no... you say this because you are not currently satisfied. If you were satisfied, then you would not be dissatisfied with yourself, and wouldn't want to improve  Fact is you are NOT satisfied, and aren't thinking from the position of what being satisfied would mean ^_^

Satisfied isn't dissatisfied of course, and so there would be no reason to improve if everything was already considered satisfactory.

I want to improve on the outside, not make myself believe I'm better on the outside when I'm actually not
 I want to strive and prosper... not settle down and be satisfied.

I don't want to be satisfied.... besides, it's hard to have satisfaction when you always want more :p

It would be interesting if anyone was ultimately 'satisfied'
