Are you satisfied with your present lifestyle? Is it exactly the way you want it to be or do you desire to change it? The choice is yours and only YOURS. No one else or no other things control your life... unless you want then to.

I'm very happy with my life and lifestyle. THe only thing I would change is my weight and having kids. Other than that, I have everything I want. I have a wonderful husband, loving family , beautiful and loveable animals , a degree, a successful business.

Life is not predictable and even those who are completely and utterly happy with the way life has fallen for them may wake up one day and find that the world has fallen out from beneath them and the life they know is completely different.
Look at the survivors of floods and hurricanes and other disasters. Look at those that have lost loved ones before their time. Look at those that have lost their life's savings through bad investments.
What we are is from with-in. You will never know if you are truly happy and content person until all is taken from your life and you are left with nothing but your relationships and your mind.
Having come from a situation where my entire reality was shifted in about 5 hours time I can honestly say that I was totally delusional about my happiness. I used to think of how fortunate I was. How other people complained out their lives and their problems and I thought the way you do...that you are in control of your own destiny.
The truth is sometimes we are not in control.
Life is going to deal us dissappointments. It is how we handle those dissappointments that defines our true character.
Finally to answer your question. Am I truly satisfied with my current situation and lifestyle? Is is exactly how I want it to be. Absolutely not. I had the perfect life. What I do have is my health and my family and the ability to get out of bed everyday and stand on my own two legs. I have food and shelter. I have my life. I also have the courage to start over.
Happiness and contentment come from within. Strength and however you define wealth will follow.
