when will you say that you are already contented with your life?

Indont think humans will ever be contented. its mans nature to crave for something more, to look forward and achieve more for them selves,

I am not sure when I would be able to say that. But most probably, when the right comes, that is the only time I can say I did. But as of now, I think I need there;s a long way to go to be able to say that I have fulfilled every dream that I want. Not even sure if I'd ever reach them.

I do not know, usually i would always just want more when i have finally reached a goal. maybe this is a person's real nature, that we will not feel contented when we see there is still more we can achieve. Maybe I will stop when I no longer feel the need to achieve something. Maybe when I am too old to do something I would be content at what I have worked so hard for right now. :D

I honestly think, for me, the answer to your question is never. I will never be content with what I have until the day that I die. On the day that I die I'm sure I'll look back over my life and be content with the things that I have achieved up until that point, and then be satisfied with what I had. Until then I feel I will always have one more thing to do, and that will not allow me to be content until then, until I can do no more.

I will say when i feel happy that is the time when I already contented with my life. Happiness come and go so does with my contentedness. I know it sounds so typical but when I feel happy is the time when I don't want anything but to keep the happiness with me.

Hi johndur! I think it is when I already have my own family with my fiance. It will complete me as a woman and as a person. I don't dream big for myself yet I dream big for my family. I want them to live a life that brings them joy and good health.

Hi johndur, I'm now no longer young We would be contented when we have reached our goals in different stages. After some time we strive for another higher goal. We would be satisfied till the goal ahead is accomplished successfully. Seems that humans are greedy and won't be contented for there are countless of life targets to be fulfill Nowadays my kid and nephew have grown up and have respective own jobs and apartments in the other states. My husband and I can live a comfortable life randomly. Could say nothing to be worry any more. We are really contented with our happy life style at present. Anyway heath is very important and we do our best to keep fit and healthy. Happy posting and have a nice day

I became the most content with my life the day i turned my life over to Jesus Christ, and became born again.

depends actually on a person, because like for me, im easily contented so im very much contented in the place where i am right now even though its not the things i probably dream about when i was a kid. But learning to be happy with what you have and be content with the little thing you have will make a huge difference in your life you'll be contentedly happy and peaceful.

I think, I'll learn to be contented until I fully know how to be a master of my emotions. It's hard to be contented when you constantly want something, especially having it seemed to be impossible. I think people can choose to be contented in different things only if they have mastered to control their emotions and longings in life. A person who doesn't know his parents can only be contented when they already know them right? Well, if he only thinks that he'll only be contented with it;).. Right now, since I am driven by my impulses, I'm not yet content;). I think, acceptance can also be a reason why a person is content:)

Thanks johndur for your thought provoking question. It is really difficult to say about contentment as I am not contented now. Mental satisfaction is closely associated with contentment. I have been searching the way to be contented. I hope the dream will come true that I am nourishing. I will reach to the level of mental satisfaction.
