How to be contented on what you have?

[w33man]

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

I guess when the feeling of happiness is in you despite the situation or status in life that you have. You need to actually be happy for what you have or what you not have. There should be a standard that will tell you that it is already enough, because that is the problem why we become greedy, we don't have standards.

I don't think that a lot of new things will make you happy. It is better to look inside and think what do you really want from this life. Something more sublime than things and money.

[El Il-mythos]

Contentment is easy to tell but hard to practice for it is an attitude that must be put into practice and sometimes a person should battle himself just to put it this precious character into his being. A man who does not have this is always suffering of jealous to others. So how to become contentment? The answer is having a self control and awareness to practice it until contentment become the product and be an attitude.

basically human nature is not satisfied, because above the sky there is still the sky ..
just by being grateful for what we have that makes us not feel less.

[_Hermoine_]

It depends on how you control your temptations in things. I can say that a man cannot be contented and his satisfaction is continuously. Even the rich people around the world doesn't feel contented because when they already achieve the things or goals they want, the don;t intend but they set another goal and try to reach for it.

In our modern world its hard not to constantly want something new, something better for ourselves because we are in the cycle of no satisfaction. To free yourself from it you must be contented with what you have but never stop seeking improvement within yourself.

Stop watching (and believing) all forms of advertising, and try to enjoy the things you already have.

Being contented with what you have means you need to stop comparing your current situation but  accept and appreciate every simple things that happen in your life.

I also like that, it's very difficult to keep myself from buying new stuff. We must think more about the function of the goods in order not to buy useless goods.

We must practice ourselves to avoid spending too much of useless stuffs. I am also the type of person who buys different things, especially if I saw something interesting that caught my attention.

[icemantaurus]

Peace of mind. If a certain person have a peace of mind he will be contented of what he have.

[t2yax]

Being contented of what you have if you stop comparing on what you have to others, because if you are trying to show off everything and you have the feeling that “omg they have the latest phone i MUST have also” then its not good. Being contended is also becoming mature because those act is a very childish way.

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough, " Oprah Winfrey said.
Satisfaction comes from the self that feels enough with what is owned.

Satisfaction has no limits. Many are satisfied even though they have nothing, but more people are never satisfied with the wealth that they have.
Wealth does not guarantee a person's satisfaction.
How about us?

[callmeback]

Love everything you have and care for it . I will guarantee you that you will be happy and contented for the rest of your life.

[godactyl]

Never settle. Always grow. That's the gift/the curse, though. That's why millionaires often overdose. Some stress is actually good. If you have no stress and everything you want, you must create stress out of boredom...

you are really good at interpretation

[andrino]

I think you cannot be contented on what you donot have. Having a things to buy fall to the wants of a person. Wants is not a necessary to provide. Wants can't make you contented, the more you wishing to buy things that fall to your wants  the more you feel uncontented. As far as I know to be contented on what you don't have is to relax yourself and do a wish that you will buy it after first buy all your needs. After that wait a days and you can have it.

[ongta]

As a human being we're never stop and never satisfied with what we already have.It's hard to us to contented on what we have.It's just like a habit .

[GelsoAM]

I think people just need to be grateful. Then you will be contented what you have right now. But if you really want to have something, then work for it. That's the only option. But be grateful while working on it.
