Contentment leads to happiness.

[BitBakerr1]

Some people are not just happy not because of anything but they are sad and unhappy because they are not contented with what they have, they usually want to have more and that usually cost them there happiness and make them depressed. I’m one of those people that usually think about having and getting anything I want, to be honest with you all, It usually lead me to depression. I’m always not happy and I know deep down that attitude is a very bad attitude and I want to stop it, because it is depriving me of happiness.
I have come to the conclusion that lack of contentment is one of the major cause of unhappiness in our life.

It is not bad to want for more, but it becomes a problem when you cannot handle defeat. You cannot win all the time and as such cannot get everything you wish for, sometimes it is easier to understand that you tried and celebrate your little wins and experiences you gained on the way.
You must not only celebrate final results. Celebrate milestones you conquered and the new experience levels you unlocked, those positive additions to you might as well be preparing you for a major win someday. Stay optimistic and never tie your happiness to end results alone.

You are not alone, everyone in this world feels the same way, not everyone will have watch they wanted to have it and that is life and we have to accept the reality. But we can avoid most part of it, by realizing we are the sole responsible person for not having what we wanted, if we really worked for it, we will get it sooner or later but it will happen for sure.

[Mhizlove]

Okay from what I do understand,this is as a reflection of the mindset because if you always go after big wins and do not appreciate the little you have you will turn out to be sad which can lead to you thinking and depressed. If you want to be happy you should always appreciate the little you have no matter how little it is, because true happiness comes when you value what you have and being grateful too will give you a peaceful life even when you're still going after your goals or chasing your dreams

One important thing about life is the aspect of positivity, believing that everything is or has been good over the time. Of course we all at some point definitely want to have more of everything we have in life but you shouldn't let that be something that will drain you due to constant thoughts. You should never forget that you are a step better than what you were the day before and to some point, you have achieved a part of what you prayed and hoped for at some point of your life.
So I think the best way to handle the issue of non contentment is by being positive, believing that everything is good and is working out already but just a matter of time and you will be more okay.

By doing this, you're making your subconscious state understand that you are okay and not troubled with whatever it is that has entered your mind because our thoughts is what drives every move we make about life. Immediately the thought comes and we make the decision, that's it for us. So we should practice the act of positivity, believing that everything is well and perfect.

Each of us will figure that out that contentment is the key to happiness. When you've got everything you can have in your life, it will still feel empty because you want to achieve more, greatness. And that's why it will lead you to having more in life and that's what you think life is all about. But no, once you figure that out, you'd see why people with less are even happier despite the hardship or struggle that they're going through. Soon, you'd see that despite all of the hardships they're having, they are happy and contented with how they deal with things.

You don't really have to feel bad about what you've been thinking especially when you don't get what you want. The thing is, life is all about growth, a time will come where you might need to have a college degree, a time will come where you might need to have job, a time will also come where you might need to start a family, all of this is what comes naturally to you as person when you think about it. So if it gets to a point your supposed to have a job or start a family of yours and your not able to,  trust me unhappiness might slightly come in little by little.
I feel it's that feeling of unhappiness that will make you to strive and try to achieve what you don't have, because stagnation too can come in disguise of contentment, making you feel relaxed instead of putting more effort.

This is a true talk. Contentment is a key to great happiness, how do I mean, a man who is satisfied or contented with what he had, will always be happy because he believed that God will still provide or increase him at any time but any man who is not contented with the small he has will not be content with the big he will also get and this will lead to greed, envy and murder. I will conclude by saying that a who is not satisfied or contented with small will not also be contented with the big.

[Claudio973]

For me contentment is a major key to happiness and it also makes you live a free wonderful life without being greedy and having envyness to your fellow human being. Being contented with what you have brings you peace of mind but it doesn't stop you from working hard to achieve greater things. If we all are contented with what we have there will be less jealousy and evil in the society. When you are contented with what you have, happiness will be in your every day life

And you also have to tell yourself that you can't have everything you desire. Even the richest people can't at least, they won't have every body to like them. An example is that some rich guys will never have to stay with certain lady not because they don't have the money to buy them over but just because the lady will never agree to be bought. This is a reality especially if the lady detest the lifestyle of the man.

So talking about your own kind of determination, it is good but for it to get to the extreme that you will go into depression if you don't get it, it is very dangerous because depression can even take your life. You have to work yourself out from such attitude, you already know that it is not helping you.

In economics, human wants are insatiable. I hope you understand that. I wish you the best out of getting into such kind of attitude.

I agree that lack of contentment can lead to greed and other acts of desperation and contentment is more of an emotional feeling of accepting what one already has. It is also more obtainable when one refuses to compare themselves constantly with those who have more than they do. People should only learn to compare themselves with who they were yesterday.

God does not increase people, God has naturally given you the ability to do things that can bring increase to you, the more you are filling your mind with positive thoughts about progress, opportunities would naturally be coming your way. It is a natural force of attraction. Whatever you desire and keep striving in that direction, you'll start seeing opportunities come your way which would lead to your increase.

[Dunamisx]

Lack of having contentment is what pushed some people to different kind of misfortune, because they are not happy with what they have and also put less a foot to achieve what they want, being satisfied is not what most people can easily do, because they are born with that nature of greediness in them, however,  we choose whom we want to become and can also decide to discipline ourselves from some of the things we see and take as pleasure instead of being cautioned.

How does it "lead to it", when meaning of the word is already form of happiness?

For sure, not constantly wanting more makes your life easier and happier, but setting your bar at knee high doesn't make you reach the stars either.

Finding reasons to be grateful for already, is a step forward when it comes to happiness and contentment, but that doesn't mean you should to be content with little. Personally i don't want to set low a bar when it comes to buildig myself to be better man. learning, growing to be a better partner and father, or anything like that.

Sure i can take a step back and be proud of my achievements, but that wouldn't mean i would not need to settle. I don't need much in my life to be happy, when it comes from outside, but i do have set clear minimum boundaries on what i need to be happy.

[Frankolala]

See a reason to be happy after you failed in achieving your goal. Come up with an excuse so that your failure would not affect you emotionally. Don't see it as a defeat but a motivation to keep on moving in life. How long will you stay unhappy. Life is short and one should appreciate every minute you spend on earth and be happy so that your state of mind will open doors for you.

Generally speaking, human in their nature have insatiable desires and so, while they get wealth and material possession, it doesn't take long before they start yearning for something else because there's always a stretching out for something else after a goal is met.

That being said, as long as you're able to take care of yourself and food, basic needs and shelter isn't a problem, then there's no reason to feel depressed even if you're not where you want to be. Contentment is a neccesary thing for all because a discontent person can turn to a serious threat to the society when he starts perching into things that are not supposed to be his concern.

One thing about life is, you can't have it all "the good things". It is better to have your eyes off the things you can't afford to, and go for the things you can afford to, the cheap things I guess. Because most things have the cheaper things that someone can afford.

You know the moment someone begin to have this mindset that nothing last forever and whatever situation someone is, be it bad, they shouldn't let that to define them because this life is like a moving train, it can turn around to be good tomorrow, we shouldn't kill ourselves on things we are yet to achieve today

[Rabata]

People everywhere in the world are not happy with what they have. That is why those who have a lot of assets but still cannot be happy. Certainly if one cannot be happy despite having enough, then he will never be happy in life. The idea that one has to have a lot to be happy is also wrong. Many people think that if he has a lot of money, he will be very happy in the world, but in reality, are those who have a lot of money happy? Of course, most of them are not happy. It is not easy to get happy if he cannot achieve happiness on his own. Those who want to be happy must prepare themselves to be happy. Whoever is asked, he will not be completely happy from anywhere, so I think he can achieve happiness only if he can limit himself to getting a little.

Having eyes for what one can't afford is the root cause of greed and is also the mystery behind uncontrollable corruption all over the world. Being contented with the little we have serves as a key to breakthrough because contentment leads to gratitude and gratitude is  what we need to get more, some fails to understand that life it's have  is a gift that not all are privileged to have but we never see reasons to be grateful for it. All over the world there are series of crimes where we kill our brothers because of what he has which we all no we can't afford it but because of the greedy mindset human we will do the unthinkable just to get it.

There was a part in the Holy Bible when the richest man in the world, who had about three hundred wives and seven hundred concubines' said life is vanity. Great wealth doesn't bring happiness because there are many valuable things that money cannot buy. When I visit some of the poor communities in my state, I see people who are still happy even when they don't have much. They are content with what they have, and they try as much as possible to enjoy life. While a business executive is depressed because he lost a business deal that he wanted to use the profit to buy another house.

Lack of content leads to crime. Most people who are into crime are not hungry or need other basic needs. They are engaging in crime because they want to acquire what they cannot afford.
