How to be contented on what you have?

[uelque]

Satisfaction with life does not depend on how many things you can afford to buy. Look at the millionaires who have everything. They do not feel satisfaction and therefore go into politics or are engaged in extreme sports.

You are right, contentment is not a satisfaction on what you have, or what things you got, and I think why some millionaires now goes to politics is that they want to help and inspire other people' lives. For me, It is what you do for others than what you do with yourself. I guess all those million dollar stuff won't bring you to contentment for long, try to help other people, maybe it will take you there.

It is necessary to be able to enjoy the surrounding world, and not to buy up everything that society imposes.
 

[PaulaSantos]

As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.

You can be contented on what you have if you always put things in your mind that, all the things you have now is God given to you and if the want to buy new things, buy it when you need it urgently and not only for your luxury. Satisfaction in the things you have is important.

[Geeta1207]

You can never be contented with what you have. Its human nature to always ask for more. So many attraction lies in the world. But there are so many people as well who don't have what you have. At least we live our life peacefully. Hectically yet peacefully. That's the only good thing about life.

Just be thankful to what you have and avoid getting jealous over material things because jealousy can affect your mindset and will cloud your decision making and will shift your focus on what others have.

ot everyone is truly content with with his or her life. Often times we are unsatisfied and seek more for what we don't have and who we are. Through scripture however, we are commanded to be content with all we have in life. Use these Bible verses to remind you not of you don't have and who you are not, but of what you do have, who you are, and who you can be.

Matthew 6:25-26 and mattew 6;32-33

I think we should be much grateful for what we already have, because out there are still many people who do not have what we have.
it would be wise if we prefer to buy the goods we really need, so do not make ourselves consumptive for the sake of self-esteem or prestige against others.

One thing that came to my mind when thinking about life and happiness...Imagine there was a machine that could measure everyone's happiness.
Now remember there are people who are happy and satisfied with almost nothing or little that they have,while there are millionaires who are depressed even at point of doing suicide.
Do you think that this imagined machine would care where you happiness originates from?
My point is,sometimes in life in order to be happy you don't need to change your surroundings by buying expensive things,
it's enough to change your thinking and character to be happy with all the small things in our lives.
At the end you won't care whether you drive an expensive ferrari or just drinking a morning's coffee or watching a sunset,you will be just as happy

Contentment cannot be obtained for as long as a person desires for something more. If your want a luxury car and you've obtained it, you will go and set a new goal. We are never contented on what we have and that is why we have jobs, to be able to have our own goals in life. Contentment will be fulfilled once we completed all our goals and desires.

[acheampong64]

you can be content with what you have by not envying what people have and then rather appreciating wat you have made yourself

One of the most effective way is to not follow trends and stop being compulsive in buying things. It would also be beneficial if you first identify if what you wanted to buy is a need or a want and then think a hundred times before deciding.

To be satisfied in what you have is to be happy on it.but be sure that  you will buy something that is very useful in your life and makes you healthier and richer.
