It is never easy to be contented especially when you have experienced being wealthy, being human means striving for greatness and never be contented. Only few people can say they are really contented on what they have.

As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.
Being contented is a choice. If you are happy of something and you dont ask for more then you are contented. But because you set a high standard goal or dreams you'll never be satisfied thats why you keep searching of anything. |

Just be thankful and appreciate what you have, Not everyone is lucky enough to have what we had or have, You might not know this but I am sure there is someone wishing they have what you had or have right now. |

Before, when I still don't have what I want I am just like you. I always want to buy things I want that I don't have or if I have I want to buy because I am not satisfied with it. Like clothes, i want what is trend. Then one time I have an opportunity to buy so I grab that opportunity. I buy all things I want that is in the budget. Now, there is only one thing I most like but I don't and can't bought by that time up to now. So I can say I am not 100% satisfied and contented. I still want to buy it. It is okey to buy something but make sure you have budget for it and you have separated for your needs. Dont just focus on our want. I beleive in the right time we can all have it just work for it. |

There are few things one can do to be contended. I know its harder and harder to do in the nowa days world. Its a concious behaviour for people not to be contented. If people would be, the debt level would quickly fall down and current economical problem would be in trouble.
Things one can do:
1. Do not expect much. One that expect to have much is to be unhappy. If you will have what you have not expecting it will give you happyness - it will give you happiness. Thats the main rule of positive psychology.
2. Do not compare yourself with those that have more, but with those that have less.
3. Make charity - you will hack your brain that you have enough to share - thats why you do not need more.

I believe that a person can not be constantly satisfied, because even if he acquires that thing about which he has long dreamed, then after a while he will still need something new.

Yes I agree with you and that is the reality. Even if we get what we really want at that time still, when time passed by you will look or desired for new things. The desires of our heart is unstoppable. We always want what we do not have. But if you are disciplined enough there is no way you could buy things that you want for the moment. If you have goals and planning for some much better things to buy other than what we just want for the moment we could do it. |

We don't, if were contended on what we have then we won't have internet today as we were contended using snail mails or cars as were contended on horses. Maybe you could, if you renounce knowledge and stop learning new things or go to nepal and devote your life in the ways of monks, not bad at all.
Yes, necessity is the mother of invention and all that. We should feel a drive to make progress. But that's on a meta-level. On a practical, day-to-day level, it's hard to feel like what you have isn't enough. |

Just be thankful and appreciate what you have. Do not yearn for more and more things to come to you. Appreciate every single things and blessings you have in your life. Also do not ever try to compare what you have on other people's have because that is the starting point of not being contented on what you have.

The secret is do not look at what your neighbors have. It is easy to say be satisfied and contented with what you have but when you see your friends new possessions the automatic feelings that we feel is, "it is nice.i wish i could also buy like that." So if we close our eyes or take them off material things, we are less tempted. |

This is very easy to do. Don't watch the friends or people who have more money than you and have a better house and a better job than you. If you keep watching them you will never be happy with what you have but if you look at people who have less than you , you will see it is very easy to be happy then as you will be happy with what you have. There is no other way to be happy with what you have. This is also a religion teaching in almost every religion.

Just think about it, sometimes we are so caught up with ourselves that we fail to realize that when the door of happiness closes, another opens. So let's not look so long at that closed door for we might miss the new one which has been opened for us. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it. Moreover, it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Just keep on believing that and you're gonna be alright.

So it seems that you are into taking new things and just have or gather all of them. I think the question here is not about the decision ot the success but merely on things that we have. I think the author of the topic is about how we can be contented on material things we have not on what is happening to us right now. Even me I would say what you are saying if it pertains to the career aspect of one person. |

We need a lot of things in this life. But not what we need is, we want to be. We need to know how is enough and satisfied with them. I just have regular income from monthly bitcoin is fun. |

If you know your purpose in life, you will be satisfied.
You only live once! Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be open for you. You have to ask God and pray for it.

Well, if you have a lot of money, why not buy it. But, just a word, you need to be contented with what you have because there's a lot of things on earth that you can't have in your life. That's one hard truth about living. We cannot really have all the things that we want. It's not even good to pursue everything as in everything that we don't have. |

Being contented of what you have is good. We should always happy of what they have in our life, because this is the blessing from our god. For me, i don't want to expect the luxury things in this world, that i don't have. I was contended of what i have, and i am happy for that. To having a normal or ordinary life is the best for me, because im so proud of me. And i was contended on what i have.

Don't think you are unique, senorita. Believe it or not, everytime I am idle my brain thinks about motorcycles and harley davidsons, which I already have. See, your passion drives your wants and most of the time it is hard to resist. If you want to be contented then you must forget about your passion. haters gonna hate but I was telling you exactly how robots are contented with their existence. |

I think it's human nature that we are not always contented on what we have, because in reality we need to exceed always our expectations and aim higher - well that is in terms of goals.
Gadgets, luxuries people will never be contented on what they have. What people can is be thankful on what they have right now and be happy but always aim higher to get your goals.
