How to be contented on what you have?

[Sidongsi13]

To be contented what you have and give thanks to the lord what he gave to you.

[MadAboutCrypto]

I don't think we need to be content to have what we have. Why? We need to strive for better things. Constant improvement is the key to being content. If you stop you'll be miserable

[Naoko]

I think that it is important to feel the process and observe your feelings and emotions, and not just strive for the goal without noticing anything around...then you can notice that there is much good in our life and we will be grateful

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

Just stop focusing on the things that you don't have instead focus on the things that you love. I believe as long as you love the things that you are doing you will be happy and contented. And it will help you grow to be a person and succeed.

You are talking about progress. As for me, wanting to have more is not bad. You are developing. In order to buy a new thing you need to make money.

[camito]

Wanting things you don't have doesn't mean you are not being contented, it only means you are wanting to have progress in your life. Being not contented for me means that wanting more of the things you already have. Things you don't have that you want to have can be considered as rewards and goals for you to achieve more in your life.

As for the question of how to be contented with what you?.. lies another question..why are you not contented with what you have?...the answer to these question determine our true self, our attitude and values in life..

[robertoquaglia]

It is a philosophycal attitude, either you have it or you don't. If you don't you can still try to achieve it.

You need to practice abstaining from something. You need to set up your mind on what you need to buy and what is not. Some people are not contented on what they have because they have the money to spare.

[jhamz03]

Maybe if you dont look at people what they have the things you dont have, and look at people what they dont have of what you have right now. Mybe that would help you to be contented.

I was once like this but sooner or later you will realize these new things don't give what you actual want. And once you realize that you will stop buying these things because you realize you don't need new things to feel okay. Feeling good comes from within and mainly from fostering good relationships in life.

Practice gratitude and appreciate what you have now,  and stop comparing your life to other people.  Somehow it will help you to be contented.  When you have all those things already you will realize that its not material things that will make you happy.

[equoboy]

Remember there are many people who have less than you but still can survive with their life. It is important to not compare your self to others. Priorities the things that money cant buy than material things. Appreciate what you have.

When you care too much about social standing then you are not to be contented.
Being contented is a choice, it's not acquired or anything, you have to decide that you are contented, even so it is almost impossible because as a human being you are completely neglecting the essence of being human.
Humans seek knowledge, develop technologies, set out trends for everyone to follow, and a whole big sack of pleasurable activities like gambling, sex, or whatever, you name it.
These are all essential to our survival as a specie, hence we do all this because it is what living is.
If you are to be contented then you ought to be dead.

[snowyy]

For you to be contented on what you have, simply do not compare with others. Just think of those who are less fortunate who do not think of more than what they have.

[sotoshihero]

First, you must accept what you have and what you dont have after that it pretty much goes smoothly. Think of the bad side of the things you want, that would help you convince yourself that it's not that worth it. but just accepting it and understanding is the most effective way tbh.

[Laokong]

First you need to accept God as your personal savior and all your life always be contented of what you have even a little things you feel so happy and contented...

The best way to celebrate all your wins and count your blessings

I read the law of attraction and personally keep blessing journal. Its a journal of all the good things that has happened to me so everyday I record all my blessings.

I also avoid reading the news paper and watching tv because it's negative. Good luck!

[Peter Murr]

I also always planing planing something to buy. And every day the price of things that I want to buy increasing.
