Contentment leads to happiness.

[Samlucky O]

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.

it is good to desire having a good life and wanting more, but that is not a reason not to be contented. lack of contentment Leeds to depression, anger, greed, enviness and keeping malice. life is simple but at times people make it look difficult. i always believe that life is vanity upon vanity, which means that we all will die and leave the things we cherish the most behind. so it is important to know that as we come empty handed so we will go empty handed. with this mentality i dont think that anyone will take this life so serious.

I have come to the conclusion that lack of contentment is one of the major cause of unhappiness in our life.

i disagree with you on this mate. unhappiness is just a factor of not getting a satisfaction but it doesn't mean its lack of contentment. you might be unhappy because you where not paid your salary when it was due, you might also be unhappy due to the attitude of your partner, love ones or family but it doesn't mean it is lack of contentment.

[L E G E N D A R Y]

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.

That's true, people ought to work hard, so that they will have whatever thing want, even if they will still need from other people but, that doesn't mean they will totally depend on other people.
And its good for one to be contented with whatever thing they have, as it will help them prevent whatever thing that will make them or lead them into engaging in any illegal activities just to get what they want, which will later lead them or cause them regrets in later, and can ruin their investment or plans.

Anyone who is not living within their own means and always want to live above what god has created with their name will always have issues of contentment and it will hurt their chances of becoming successful in life because they will be inconsistent with what ever comes their way and also be disappointed when something doesn’t work the way they want it, they become easily frustrated and begin to react unnecessarily to things they cannot control.  It is a very bad attitude anyone would emulate especially if they want to be great in life. I appreciate people who are very contented with what god has designed for them and are still hungry for more opportunities.

If you are in a situation where you think you are not getting everything you want there is nothing bad about it but think about people who are working so hard but can not get to where you are at the moment I believe you will be amazed at what you will discover that should make you to be thankful for what you are getting. Do not tie your happiness to all the things you have because the moment you do not get what you intend to get your will never be happy again and that is not good. If you are not happy with your level, try to do more greater things to get a greater result but do not give your self the attitude of not being contented with what you have because people are doing everything possible to be like you but they can't.

That constant thought of achieving more in life makes us as a person neglect even the little we have achieved! Naturally everyone wants to have abundant resources, more like a generational wealth and in the quest of fighting for that, we under appreciate the little we have at our disposal, for an individual to want more in life isn’t a bad or terrible thing but our happiness should not be so tied to what we aspire to have else this mental satisfaction will not be there and we will keep pushing hard unnecessarily. For you to be contentment  does not mean you will halt you growth, it simply means that you give due appreciation to what you already have and still go on to fight and work for more.

If i were to be Elon Musk, maybe i would stop wanting for more, the power, fame and money? Nobody in life gets contentment at a particular spot for long, everybody wants to do better, life has always been a competition, where you feel okay to pause and enjoy, that is where someone else will be starting from, by then you would want more also. Having contentment means not taking too much risky decisions as in the early period, building on what you have gradually knowing there is enough to satisfy your every want.

Perhaps those who are not happy may be people who, despite having certain things, feel deprived because they cannot possess the things they desire rather than having more. The general perception does not seem very positive.

[Agbamoni]

Yes, "contentment is of great gain," so the bible says. If you are satisfied with what you have will be very happy because you simply have no reason to be sad about the things that God has provided for you.

Lack of contentment creates room for greed. While greed is what makes us do impeccable things to get wealth without considering the dangers.

[Creeper0]

I have known and seen some people who can never win a deal, even though the deal was made on their advice. No matter how much you give to such a person, they will not be satisfied. This is because of temptation and dissatisfaction. There is probably no happier person than the one who can achieve satisfaction with little. The one who can never achieve satisfaction has no happiness in his life. This is a very bad habit.

To remove this habit, I would advise you to move around more with people who are not stingy and are content with what they have. This problem can be removed only with company. Loneliness causes such problems or makes a person lonely because of this problem.

[Paparazzi22]

Sure it does..I mean someone who is contented will always be happy cuz the person has nothing bothering his mind

Men of this generation do not believe in their word because they are never contented with what they have no matter the level of Christianity they preach but meet them outside the real world they are always looking for ways to take what belongs to others to add to what they have. People are sad every day not because they do not have enough but because they are not contented with what their hard work has given to them they just want to get everything as if they can get it all if they are allowed, greed has taken over the world that mindset is not ending until this generation is gone.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Of course, lack of contentment is a habit that is developed such that you won't feel you have enough of what you want in life, it could be a natural feeling, or it might come as a result of competition from people around you, peer pressure or because of high cost of living. When you see that there are people you know or who you grew up with that are doing far better than you, there's always a feeling of unsatisfaction despite that you have also been successful in your own space.
     How to fight this feeling of unhappiness is just for you to always engage in fun activities, do not measure your achievements with that of others and learn to praise yourself and instead of looking at those who are doing better than you, why not you think about those who you are doing better than. By so doing that is how you will begin to get confidence and good motivation around you, and you won't feel less of yourself anymore.

[HelliumZ]

The human instinct is to want more and he can never be satisfied with less. We have basically brought ourselves to a point where we need more and our needs cannot be met. But in reality, the more you want, the more you will tend to want more and the emptiness that will be created in you from this tendency will never make you happy. This is basically one of the main reasons why we are not happy. If you are satisfied with less, then your needs will be limited later and the more limited your needs are, the happier you will be. Basically, the failure of not meeting your needs is unhappiness.

Happiness = Reality - Expectations

Most people are unhappy because their expectations exceed their reality. The most simple way to increase your happiness is to decrease your expectations. Bettering yourself works also, but that takes more effort.

It's true that when you are satisfied with what you have, you will be more in a happy state, but it's not a bad thing to be wanting more, since I believe that it's where improvement or upgrade breeds from.
What I think that is really bad is being covetous, by not being grateful with what you have, while working for more better things to come, because once your greed is tamed, that's when contentment and gratitude will sets in, because as long as you are ambitious as a human, you will always want more even though you might be contented with what you already have.

Sincerely most people are not contented with what they have, if most of us can be sincere to say there mind here, you will read things from you may not expect to say something different from your expectations but I have come to realize that there are things we can not help but making ourselves happy whichever way we can overcome somethings easily, just as you were open and sincere, my advise for you is that, there is no need of thinking about something you know being unhappy can not make it a reality, it will be of help to you mentally and otherwise to be very contented with whatever you have because if you are not healthy, you can do anything, so you should understand that good health is a great achievement and as long as you are alive there is no limit to what you achieve in life.

[fuguebtc]

It does make real sense that lack of contentment is actually the main reason of human unhappiness. In fact, just being happy in the moment and having contentment in your mind are not the same thing. Contentment means accepting your life as it is and this feeling is actually the real key to human mental peace and longterm happiness. When a person takes a break from this race of 'I need more or I want more' and is happy with what he has, then his anxiety decreases and his self confidence increases.

This is why constantly comparing yourself with others or worrying about what you don't have makes the bird of happiness fly away. My economic teacher often told me that when your basic needs are met, simply chasing more money or possessions does not increase your real happiness. People actually make the mistake of thinking that if they get a little more they will be as happy as queen Elizabeth but at the end of the day the addiction to that 'a little more' never allows them to live in peace

Agbamoni you are correct, lack of contentment has really dealt with me. I have been unhappy for some years now because of what I think should be mine, things I think I should have, has made me unhappy for a very long time and I have decided to be happy, i will be grateful for those things I have and anything that does not come to me should go. I will not give a fuck about those things that are not coming to me anymore. I will not stress myself to get something that is becoming impossible for me to get. I will always know my limit in everything I’m doing in this life because the only way you can enjoy this life is to be happy and be contented with what you have.
Yes lack of contentment leads to greed and will also lead you to hell and frustrated.

Life is not easy for everybody and their are people that are passing through pains due to family problems and marital disagreement that is affecting the young children coming up in life. We should not use the excuse because we are doing fine and we don't have problems with people in our family to judge others and this can be very wrong. Life has cheated some people which had made this beautiful world a sad place for them. We don't have to blame these people for their predicament but to help them ans share the love of God with them so that they don't follow the wicked part to survive.

Yes at times we make serious mistakes by judging others according to how things are going in our own end without even knowing all fingers are not equal, life is one thing that is very difficult to understand as it has its own ways of giving and receiving from people. Things may be difficult for me even after series of responsible pushing still to know good answers but the other may not even push hard before receiving answers,  so let us learn how to treat all as it is supposed to be as know one knows tomorrow. As we talk about treatments to others, let us also learn how to be contented with the little life has given as the future is pregnant and no one knows what it has.
