So is being content a bad thing?

I an rather content these days. Things aren't perfect. I could probably do better if I exerted myself, but I am fine. I have steady job, good income, nice place, good gf, nothing too interesting going on. Sometimes I think though that if I put my nose to the grindstone, pushed myself , just put in a little more effort I could excel at something; whether my job, another job, volunteer work, or an ambitious hobby.

Being generally content...

I'm trying to figure out why I would post something as a blog here rather than as a thread in the main forum. But my curiosity prevents me from not at least giving it a test run. I could perhaps see posting a bit more info about myself if this were more private than the main forum, like the journals generally were. But I assume that these are visible to non-members (Is that true?) and with that link to the blog in ever post it doesn't seen much more obscure than posting...
