About this Quote

This quote by Karl A. Menninger talks to the concept that feeling a sense of discontent is a natural part of life. It recommends that feeling a sense of worry or frustration is an indication that we are alive and engaged with the world around us. It indicates that if we are not feeling a sense of discontent, then we might be living a life that is too comfortable or too stagnant. Menninger is suggesting that it is very important to welcome the feeling of unrest and use it as a motivator to make favorable modifications in our lives. He is encouraging us to utilize our sensations of unease to press us to strive for something better and to make significant progress. By accepting our sensations of unrest, we can utilize them to move us forward and to produce a life that is more meaningful and satisfying.
