what is wrong with you?

Hi onque! Unless we are contented with what we are, what we have, how we look we will never find contentment. But having said that I believe that there is always room for improvement for everything and that we should always strive for the best in what we do.

I'm not at all satisfied with what i have now. Each and every person in this world is facing some kinds of problems. Problems are always with people. In my view spiritual life is the only way to get a real peace and fully satisfied life. If we chase the footsteps of Mahaveera Buddha, we can enjoy the real happiness in our life. But----how many are ready to sacrifice themselves for leading a spiritual life?

I am not content with my current situation, as I have been through many losses this year. However each time I remember how uncontent I am it makes me want to strive higher to make the changes necessary. However, I have to say that I live with a wonderful man who makes me appreciate life more each day.

Whenever we reach our goal we get happy temporarily and yearn for more. That's human nature and that's part of being greedy. WE never get satisfied and we work hard to get our objective which gets higher and higher over time! Human nature, we need to accept it and try to deal with it and make sure we don't hurt anybody in achieving our goals and satisfying ourselves!

Hi Contentment depends on persons attitude. What I feel is contentment in life should give you confidence and a happy smile on one's face but not make them to stop their efforts to come up in life. What will happen if I am satisfied with what I am earning today and I just keep doing the same thing, all of a sudden if something wrong happens What I accumulated may not be sufficient. We should work hard with out effecting the family relationships and keeping them happy and making some time for them and we need to work hard. Satisfaction is the key to success undoubtedly, but it should be in a constructive way to put much more efforts. Happy Living Calpro

Hmm I am content with what I have now. Besides, I have the freedom to make some improvments or changes if it's necessary. I love simplicity. :) Delighting in the pleasure of being with friends and family remind me of who truly I am and what is truly important to me. The more content I am with myself and my relationships, the more I will be able to extend the reach of that sense of security when I am standing in a situation alone. My feelings of well-being begin first internally, and then expand to encompass my loved ones, and finally everyone I meet. Being content with myself and my relationships allow me to remain centered and grounded. :)

Generally speaking, it is hard to be happy with your life if you focus on the ways you are not content. There will always be areas of our life that could be better. We can always wish for better friends, more friends, more love, more money, better living conditions, a smaller nose, more income, better health, more success. And we often do this. It is important to focus on the many things we do have and the things that are right and be thankful for those. On the flip-side, discontentment can be a good thing. When I am discontented with my job, I may be motivated to look for another. When I am not satisfied with my home, maybe I will be motivated to improve it. This drive that comes out of being discontent can be a good thing, but it must be balanced with contentment as well.

i have learned how to be content with the stuff i have and not to keep up with the Joneses. why should i keep trying if i know i will never win?

I would honestly tell that I am not contented and happy on the things that I have. I can't feel that because of the environment that I am living in where it is so stressful. It is now hard for me to find the real happiness. I am only happy if I am with my boyfriend but other than that no more.

i'm never content physically i still have to work out to attain that killer body hehehe and maintain it emotionally, i have to have a lot of emotions cause lately my girl says i never show anything except happiness or seriousness financially, definitely not something to be content with i wanna be a billionaire, so fricking bad... (oh wait that's a song) everything's wrong with me

I think you are speaking of yourself? LOL, joke... I am content but wanting improvement... I do not bemoan my financial worries, it is the only unsatisfying part of my life now...I admit I'm not satisfied but I am working to make it better, but I think I'm blessed than most people...so I am conditioning my mind to make do and be content as I know that I can elevate it one day... If I ever feel not contented, I just try thinking of the people in Africa, those who are dying of hunger, and then I always feel ashamed, because, see? compared to them, I'm having an easy life...
