I'm good, thanks!
How do we find true satisfaction in life?
Isn’t “I’m good, thanks” one of the most common responses we get when asking someone how they are? But as we spend more time listening and start to peel beneath the surface, we’ll find that true satisfaction is hard to come by on human efforts alone.
Let’s consider some talking points and potential perspectives to explore with family, friends and colleagues. While we may not have the answer to everything, there are some Christian responses to consider.

Common problems we face
The world in which we live has many things that appeal to us. These include food, nature, music, travel, money, fame, enlightenment, marriage, family, sports or academic achievements.
Even in a stress-filled world, we can find great enjoyment. And yet these pursuits do not bring full and lasting satisfaction.
People who live only for self-gratification, no matter how lofty their achievements, will always long for more. It makes no difference how deeply they drink from the wells of this world’s pleasures; their thirst is still not satisfied.
