Are you happy? Are you satisfied on what you have?

Life doesn't turnout the way we imagined it. There are things in life that you can't hold on no matter how much you fight for it. Maybe we should learn to stop gripping on things that won't last. Fellow myLotters, can you share some of your experiences in life worth sharing so that we can learn something from it.

I feel that when I don't satisfied about any things in my life, I'll be worry and not to be happy. I won't be peace. So, I always try to know what I need in my life and to be happy with them.

Yes! I am happy but not satisfied. I'm just human and have needs on my own making me unsatisfied. There are many things I want to do in life but due to some problems I cant do those things especially financial problems and status in life. But I'm not giving up for these things and want to achieve it someday.

It's nice to hear that you won't give up easily on problems. Keep it up. I know someday you will achieve it. I just wish i am like you. I tend to put wall on things to guard myself against pain. I'm successful in that way and maybe that's the best way to do. Thanks for sharing.

Though sometimes I still have some complaints about work, I wish I will have no complaints one day, I am generally happy with what I have and satisfied with my life now. I understand the frustration or unhappiness that I have right now will eventually go off, and I have already made a stop to it -- I resigned from my job and will do what I really want to do, which is to take care of my lovely son. I understand what I want in my life, and I'm walking towards my goal, hence I'm really happy with it. I always believe know what you want and do what you want to do. When you can do it, then you'll be happy. ^_^

Yes and No. I'm satisfied with achieving more than my Mother had in life. However, I always hope for better for my Husband & I as well as our children. If people were always satisfied with things then we'd never get new technology and methods of doing things ect.

yes i would really agree of what you said, because i do believe that everything has a purposed, though there are things that we really like, sometimes it comes to us in an easy way and sometimes its not.so as what you said, that we must learn to stop gripping on things that won't last.=

Yes it's true. It will only add to your frustrations if you continue to dwell on it. Thanks for sharing.
