Contentment leads to happiness.

[NewRevelation]

Everybody wants a good life, and wants to grow financially and otherwise, been able to afford whatever they want or wish to have, and it will really be good to attain that heigh. But when Thai is not achieved yet, we shouldn't kill ourselves. The wish to have it all even when you are not growing in your finances is the major problem that makes some depressed aaand very sad.

To grow financially isn't bad, but the question is, are you improving yourself? Are you working out on modernities to grow your self financially, or are you learning new things to improve yourself? If we don't have enough, we must make due with what we have and do our best to remaain calm and work towards growing our furnaces instead of killing ourselves for what we don't have.

Do not allow peer group to pressure you, just know what you are doing and follow it diligently, result will come.

it’s common for us to see others’ success as the measurement of success but something we have to learn is that we make our own success and it might not look the same as others’ but if you consider it as something to be proud of then it can still be considered success

Measurement of success rate sometimes is due to our own mindsets. It's due to what we see as being successful or not. Some people set daily targets and once they are able to meet up with such targets, they refer to it as success and they are very happy and contented with it why others might not see it in such light and would like to calculate their success based on big and herculean tasks achieved. I also do not see success in such light rather I grade my own based on my daily tasks or sometimes when I have some specific targets to meet. Reason why I operate this way is due to the realization which is success is never fully achieved as success in the light of life as a whole is a continuum and does not have a definite end.

Contentment is a big flex , being okay with what you have , and having pride with it while hoping for the best to come , would save some persons from a lot , many who join wrong association just to meet up are usually cause by not been contented with what have , it’s not bad to actually want more out of life , but having sleepless night because of what your neighbors has or what your friends bought, knowing fully well that you can’t afford it as  at that moment, that is where many always get it wrong , many get depressed and in danger their lives because something that life can offer you at the right time, I used to feel bad when I can’t afford things but my friends does , but today I get whatever thing I want , majority of the things we fight our peace is what we can get in due season .

Absolutely, success truly means different things to different person's and comparing our journey with others can make us overlooked the little wins that truly matters sometimes meeting daily objective improving gradually or staying consistent is already in big achievement success is is continuous because as one grow our aims and our decision of success keep changing.

Absolutely, success truly means different things to different person's and comparing our journey with others can make us overlooked the little wins that truly matters sometimes meeting daily objective improving gradually or staying consistent is already in big achievement success is is continuous because as one grow our aims and our decision of success keep changing.

Most of the times, the reason some people end up taking shortcuts to success isn’t because they’re not doing well enough in their own journey, but because they’re feel they’re not where they’re meant to be, so they look at other’s progress and rather than being motivated to keep going, they get the wrong motivation. Contentment plays a very vital role in everyone’s life, if they’re going to avoid making some certain mistakes that’ll affect them later in life. A song writer once said, never compare your one step to someone else’s 1000 steps. Life is a journey, everyone mustn’t arrive their destination at the same time, others will arrive first and others would follow but one thing is for sure, as long as everyone remains committed and focused on the goal and then keep going, they’ll definitely reach the goal.

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.

You have raised a valid point that lack of contentment effects people mind , if we keep on comparing our life with others or chasing without appreciating with what we have then our lives will become difficult. Being content is good about the luxurious or things that we have in our life but being content does not mean that we should stop dreaming big or stop having ambitious goals , it does mean that we should appreciate our present blessing without worying for the future , as you have shared your personal experience I would like to add mine that I am also one of the person who does not feel content with the present state that has leds me to deprived of happiness.

Happiness is vital thing to be considered in each stage of life, and if happiness is absent in anyones life that person can never be satisfied with whatever they gathered. That is why we must learn how to be contented with what we have because everybody knows that we can't possess everything that our minds is demanding for. lack of contented drag Some people to illegal acts because of Envy of others.
You can see some individuals that lack contentment are driven away to become dangerous person by committing crimes in the community.

Majority of our grandparents are not rich but they feel better and live healthy life because they were contented, if we can learn from them I believe we are going to have a better life like them.

As a matter of fact, happiness is more internal than based on achievements or society. When you meet a happy person you will understand that money does not really make someone wholesomely happy. Contentment is a very key word here. Many people have made various amounts of achievement but they have not been contented with what they have. So to be happy, you have to be guided and you have to understand that money is not everything. Our forefathers could not reach our achievements but they were happier in their days. Nowadays, we have several things that caused pressure to everyone. Some of this things are the product of social media and fake lives. This is why contentment is becoming an old word in our society. You own a Lamborghini today and tomorrow you are wanting to own a Rose Royce and next is a private jet. They said that the joy of having increases by having and that is the reality of the human person and their quest to have more.

Nobody has it all in life, we all got to be thankful for what is ours, and be comfortable about where we are right now. Life is fun, when we are contended, nothing is as rosy as a healthy lifestyle, everything else is a plus. However, we are humans, and are prune to feeling the right or the wrong way when our environment is not truly ok with us, yet it's not enough reason to be unhappy.

In human beings there is no such thing as satisfaction, relying on this is of course wrong and you will never be happy throughout your life, therefore you must understand gratitude in life so that you can feel happiness without having everything according to your satisfaction, it's like this, today you are struggling to get $10k which is so very difficult for you and think that when you achieve it you will feel proud and happy when you achieve it, but after getting it you want another $100k and so on, that's why satisfaction will never end in anything, happiness is not based on satisfaction, happiness based on gratitude is the right choice.

This day's a lot of folks confused success with happiness not realising that peace of mind and contentment matters a lot social media has made life feel like a competition where nothing is ever enough, some persons will achieve on things and immediately start chasing the next without even appreciate what they already have at the end of day a contented  person with small can sometimes be happier than a rich person who is never satisfied.

[xaspero]

I don't think it's bad to want more for myself, in fact one has to be satisfied before claiming contentment . Because having a life where nothing happens, nothing changes and nothing matters that's the worst thing that can happen to a person

I had a teacher in my school who passed away recently. He used to remind us of one thing over and over again, that you don't need a lot of wealth to be happy. If you want to live a happy life mentally, look at the people below you. At that time, I didn't really understand what he meant, but now I understand that a person cannot be happy even if he has a lot of wealth if he doesn't feel happy.

No matter how much you spend on your family, over time, the demand will increase. After fulfilling one need, another need will arise, and the more wealth you have, the more psychological pressure you have to get more wealth. Social competition is the reason for the increase in demand. To be happy I follow my teacher's advice and look at the poor people compared to me and console myself. If you try to be equal to the rich people by looking at their wealth, it will definitely make you an unhappy person.

Everything can't actually go as one may planned, but that doesn't mean that one won't be grateful for all that they got in life and as you just stated, nobody has it all in life and those that may be looking like they have it all, when you get closer to them, you will realize that they don't really have it all as they claim. Life may be not really be as sweet as one may pictured it to be, but being contended with whatever thing one got in life, its something that one should be grateful about because some day all that one is fighting for may be lost when one dies.

[AYOBA]

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.

Those that doesn’t happy with the little God give them they will never happy even when God bless them with enough, and is because pat of the doesn’t appreciate with little things that they have achieved that’s why they not even understand the types of life their living. Happiness always comes when the things is getting better for a person, even those that still don’t have yet are also because they believe that one day good thing most surely comes their way.

There’s some people that no matter what they achieve they will still not be happy this kind of people don’t deserve to be rewarded with big things in their life.

Food and shelter is sufficient to get contentment by the corner, but perpetual dissatisfaction is one other habit that is hard to forsake or deny of the human mind. Comfort with the state of things wouldn't have gotten us to advance this far, technologically, and mentally, humans always go for more, which attitude has its ups and down. Lives have turned upside down for many who wanted more, financially, and on the other flip, the world has grown positively well with the work of scientists who had to go for more theories over the existing ones, which we all benefit from one way or another.

Being content not only saves a person from disappointment and wrong way, but also gives a person mental peace. Those who can keep themselves happy can enjoy their life. Surely those who have this quality can become more great in life because of this quality. If you observe deeply, who are not satisfied they lose control over themselves when they see something good in others. They can adopt various wrong principles. Comparing yourself with what others have is basically a big reason for dissatisfaction for a person. If someone is responsible for himself without following others, then he will definitely be able to reach his desired goal.

Contentment is one of the most valuable qualities, It does not mean that someone need to stop dreaming big or stop working hard, but it means that a person need to appreciate what he or she has, while they still strive for other good things of life. Many people are unhappy today not because they lack everything, but because they are busy comparing themselves with other people. Once comparison enters a person’s mind, unnecessary pressure, envy and jealousy can also follow. Some people can even  go into  debt, gambling addiction, scams, or other illegal activity just to be like other people. A person who is contented always focus on their journey instead of counting another person’s blessings, and uses all his or her time to improve themselves. This kind of mindset brings peace of mind because they don’t care about what another person has. So for me, comparison is one of the biggest things that steals Happiness while contentment is one of the strongest foundation in achieving success and peace of mind. Anyone who is contented always progress in life.

[Doll2233]

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.

Mental well being of a person is improved by the contentment and positivity. Simply believing that everything is already good can be misleading if it ignores the reality , containment cannot be built on ignoring the reality or denying the problem but it is based on recognising them and then responding to them in a mature and wise way.
If Someone is struggling financially,  emotionally and telling himself that everything is okay or fine can make that person passive instead of taking meaningfull action to improve his situation , thoughts influences the behaviour but they should be based on truth.
Accept the reality instead of just believing that everything is perfect and we should work for the progress, feel gratitude and actively work to make our conditions better without being in denial.

I love that statement in the last line, that lack of contentment is the major cause of unhappiness. I agree with you on that, there was a time I wanted to have all what I need in life to be happy but the more I keep achieving them the more I need more new things to make me happy, but I later discovered that happiness is appreciating the little things around you that gives you peace of mind and not things unseen. Looking for the unseen to be contented is the reason for not being contented. If you understand this simple principle of life you will understand that life is simple, and when you take things comom life Because simple and you will be contented.
