My current state is not ideal. I could have a better job, better partner, better home. Even a better family and better friends.

But I don't believe life is about reaching some ideal state of being, and trying to maintain it.

I see it more as life is about existing in a less-than-ideal present state, with challenges continually threatening to disrupt it. However, using every available resource we have to overcome those challenges presents us with constant opportunity to improve our present state toward future ideals.

This is not a best-of-all-possible-worlds scenario, but it is the one we exist in, and every action we take has the potential to improve it.
