are you ever fully satisfied with what you have?

Do you ever feel fully satisfied with what you have and not have anymore wants? I wonder if this is ever a point people reach. I always think to myself well when I get to that point, I will be happy and then I get there and have new things on the list that have been added. I guess this could be a good thing to always have something that drives you and motivates you, but I do wonder if there will ever be a day that all our wants are fulfilled and we can just feel fully satisfied.

uh i think if you're looking for someone to complete you then it means you don't feel contented with who you are and what you've achieved. I guess what you're trying to say is you want to find that person meant for you, the one you will love and who will love you back as well. =) Hope you find him soon!

I'm not satisfied with what I have,because in life if we dont have some aim/goals than it's not called the life.

It is our aspirations, ambitions and dreams that make our life worth living. Without these life would be pretty boring. I do have aspirations, ambitions and dreams and my happiness lies in my efforts to reach them.

of course. I am fully satisfied with what I have now, even though I don't have the things I want when it comes to material things, I have God that gives me all the love and care. :)

I am not fully satisfied with what I have. I don't think I will reach a point where I will be satisfied

Honestly i think there will always be something that we want, even if everything seemed to be in place,that everything is how it should be, there is something morethat we need. At one point we can say that if we get this and that wed already be happy and contented but when we get that. We would be. Looking for another happiness yet again. Maybe, in our lives there would always be that something that we yearn for but we just often not feel them because we have our loved ones always trying to fill the gaps.

I am presently not satisfied with what I have. I guess the insatiable appetite to have more and more keeps your dream alive and fuels your efforts to get it .. Though I believe that you shouldn't desire something that is not achievable in a proper manner. But at present I am in a position where I want to get more and I am working for it hard!

There's always that makes me not satisfied, with what I have now. But I try to be grateful for what I have now. If there is something that has not materialized, I hope someday to be realized. No doubt, there are a lot of my desire that has not materialized, and I am very conscious, I do not have a way to make it happen. But I hope someday, I found a way, to realize all my desires, until I could feel satisfied, with what I have now.

Its human nature of being not satisfy of anything in this world.But if we learn to appreciate things and all what we have in life its truly a satisfaction. I'm much satisfied of what I have now since we cannot just live materially.Its just a temporary things..I hope everyone learn to satisfy of what they have at hand. Happy myLotting!

T Think its just humans way, That we are never fully satisfied. The fact things could and always be better will always be in the back of our mind, Well that is at least how I feel about the subject. I do not think we will ever be 110% FULLY SATISFIED! -LARRY

I would like to be satisfied with what I have but then I watch t.v shows where they have these characters and they have this luxurious life with luxurious clothes, clothes that I dreamed of having but can't afford or don't have the time to buy the outfits. Or I have friends that have everything that up to date, I'm not to up to date because I don't have the money. It's not that I don't have the money it's just that I don't know the value of dollar. I'm all about wanting and being jealous then appreciating the things I have or the things that make me who I am. Do I really want to be this luxurious fashionista?

Hi there, I am very happy with all the things i have but i am not satisfied. I don't think anyone in this world is ever going to be satisfied. I am student so i want to finish my study asap, get a high paying job and buy a brand new house. This gonna take a while or maybe a bit more. There are like hundreds of things i wanna do right now but unfortunately can't. I will have to wait and wait until the right time comes. And i am sure that whenever i will get all that i have wished for now, i will still be wanting something more and more. So, i come to the conclusion that human wants are unlimited and fulfilling them is nearly impossible!

i believe that i still haven't achieved that kind of fulfillment in life wherein i am not wanting anything more.. i guess, that comes with age.. i am only 21 years old now and still has not achieved much.. there are still a lot of things that i want to do and wants to have.. but i know there will come to such a point in our lives when we have to be satisfied and be thankful for all the things that we have done.. :)

If you mean material goods, then, yes, that can happen. I have gone through periods when I was so satisfied with what I had that I hated to see gift giving holidays come around because it would mean more "stuff" to deal with. I am like that most of the time, however my wants are not things that others can give me, so I can't say that I'm fully satisfied. I think that if one is totally satisfied, it would be a boring life anyway. Having goals and wants is part of what keeps life interesting.

I can say that I am thankful for everything that I have, because it all could be gone in a matter of time. I never put much thought as it am I fully satisfied with where I am and what I have. Being that for me, there is always a want to get something new. Not a need, just a want. When I'm at the point in my life where I only need something instead of want I would be fully satisfied. I still thank you can be thankful for what you have, but there is more than likely a want for something else.
