Money, Ambition, and the Art of Being Content

[GIF-JOBS]

Human needs are insatiable, even billionaires are not satisfied with what they have that is why they have to keep on working to get money, the whole reason why we work everyday is because we want to make more than we have acquired. No one can be truly satisfied that is nust my opinion but while we are working to get better opportunities what we can do is to be patient, being content might be impossible for a lot of people.

Human needs naturally increase, so it is not possible for anyone to be completely satisfied. After achieving what we want to achieve now, our needs will increase even more, and then we will struggle again to fulfill those needs. No one is satisfied here, everyone just wants to achieve more. But in the hope of achieving more, we forget the full value of what we have now, as a result of which we do not find peace even though we have enough at the moment. And this is where the biggest problem starts, we cannot give the true value of anything or understand its value.

As humans we often struggle to lead a better life, and of course this is part of our life. But have you ever thought about whether you are happy or unhappy? How much money do you need to become happy? Can you really measure happiness with money? Are you regretting your current situation?

This is why many people today seem unhappy all the time. Money and happiness are two different things and of course, they're independent but unfortunately majority of us mixed them up together. If you tied your happiness to money, I'm sorry to break it to you but you'll never find happiness if money is what you based it on. Human needs for money is endless and your search for happiness automatically becomes endless too if money is your source of happiness.

The truth is money play important role in our lives and finding happiness without almost seem impossible. Nevertheless, happiness should not be completely dependent on money because desire for money never end no matter how much you have. The more you have it, the more you crave for more and this is where contentment comes in to fill the gap. If you're contented with the what you have no matter how little, happiness is your second name.

[Mate2237]

It's often said that human wants are unsatisfied and always wants more no matter how much we have, the need to keep on having the more is there that is just part of the human nature. This is the reason why there is a constant struggle in life to get more even the billionaires of this world are actually looking for more money. There is nothing wrong with anyone trying to acquire more but the way and manner that is followed while pursuing more money.


In what ever we do as humans we should know and come to the realization that wealth without self satisfaction and control leads to death. You have to appreciate your present condition if you hopes to get more or leave this your present state because, appreciating your present condition means that you acknowledge your achievements as you try to improve on your successes.

I don't agree with this. If one can find happiness within themselves regardless of their financial status they will have good energy to attract money, ideas that can generate this so called money or even connections that has the potential of changing ones status. Happiness is attracts good fortunes. Someone whose happiness isn't tied to money has higher chances of attracting help than someone who is always sad because they don't have money. I just believe happiness has its own currency and it's large enough to change any ones life within the shortest possible time

Look for the better opportunities, but don't be unhappy. Do you realise or understand this sentence? As humans we often struggle to lead a better life, and of course this is part of our life. But have you ever thought about whether you are happy or unhappy? How much money do you need to become happy? Can you really measure happiness with money? Are you regretting your current situation?

Stop regretting; learn to be happy. I said 'learn to be happy' means you have to be self-satisfied. To fulfil our needs, we have to earn money. But do you have a limit to your needs? Have you controlled your aspiration? Unless you have controlled it, you can't be satisfied. Unless you become satisfied, you can't be happy. Whether you are happy or not fully depends on your aspiration.

If you are a millionaire, but your aspiration is to become a billionaire, then you won't be happy ever. Because you dreamed of being a billionaire and have to struggle for that. As a result, you would feel unhappy since your dream is much bigger than what you have right now. Dreaming big is not wrong; you can look for better opportunities. But you have to learn to be satisfied with what you have and accept reality. It's the only way to become happy.

I totally agree with you, not a few people feel satisfied with what they have achieved in life, hopes and ambitions are bigger than the current position is indeed good and there is nothing wrong with it but it must be accompanied by gratitude for what has been achieved in order to feel happy, we must instill a little stoicism in ourselves in order to feel happiness because it will really help in having a view in living life, happiness does have many variations for each person but measuring it with very high financial ambitions and not seeing what we have today from the results of working all year how to feel happiness will be very difficult, sometimes we have to be alone and look back at what we have done to get to the current position.

If you can't be happy for small things, then its the same feeling you'll feel even if you achieve those big things. Good things only happen if there is satisfaction and contentment. If there is none, then never get surprised why until now you you haven't still achieved your goals in life, your dreams and aspirations in life.

Money, ambition, and contentment should go hand in hand. If one lacks, particularly contentment, then its hard to attract positive things in life because the universe itself will definitely not allow it.

It is a regular occurrence for humans to feel the need for another after fulfilling one. That is why we often see that a man is restless to fulfill that dream later. This is a common human nature. Most of the time, a man is unhappy despite having everything. And he himself is responsible for this unhappiness. Some people turn their desire to fulfill their dreams or get something into an addiction and if this situation continues, they will never be satisfied. To be happy, it is necessary to be satisfied. If someone cannot be satisfied with what he has, then he will never be happy. Those who cannot realize happiness will not find any way to be happy. If you want to be happy, you have to try to be content with what you have.

Money cannot buy happiness and it cannot measure happiness. Money only increases purchasing power and that purchasing power helps in fulfilling the necessary needs. If money loses its purchasing power, then that money will not be able to fulfill any needs and you will not get even a little happiness from money. Sometimes even if the money of others has purchasing power, the same money may be unable to purchase power for you. I am talking about stolen money or bribe money, when that money is identified by the government.

To be happy, first of all, we have to be honest and try to find happiness with what we have. It is possible to be happy with a small amount of money, but for this you have to be content and that must be with what you have.

yes that's true, if we expect to be happy only when we have attain the level we expect in life then we might not be happy because that is how we programed ourselves. true happiness is appreciating the little things that gives us joy, not expecting to be happy only when the big things has come. if the big thing we expect didn't come then we might not be happy for the rest of our lives. i have seen many people leaving aggressive lifestyle, and i believe this may be the possible cause of such attitude.
