Why it is so many people are not contented in their life? Even though they are rich and have a lot of money, they can do what they want, have all things going on with their life. They have a nice car, a big palace house, they can buy what they want, they can do whatever they’ve wish for. But still something is missing.
On the other hand you have a happy family, a career, a wife that supports you, a relatives and friends always beside you. But you can’t buy what you want, there is only a limited stuff that you can buy, you don’t have a nice car, you can’t even go out to unwind. You have an inadequate source of materials and your actions are restricted. And you know there is still something missing, a lot if you think of it.
That’s why we question life a lot and still we can’t figure what the answer is. We tend to look for something more, something more than our minds and eyes meet something that if we have, we would be happy and contented.
I remember movies showing a lot of times this kind of situation, where there is a rich and not so rich person not contented with their life. So what’s the solution they’re trying to suggest? Exchange each other’s position, where the rich becomes not so rich and the not so rich become rich. So what do you think will happen?
Well at first maybe they will be surprised of what had happen and after that they will figure things up. And after they will figure things up they will feel relieved for a moment because their position change for much better for a moment. They will try right away the present life and be glad that the stress for their life before is gone even though for a while.
While they’re getting use to it, they would soon realize the important of their past life and longing for that life they used to have. And then the reality check in, they will like much better the past life than what they have because of complexity of things the present life had to offer. So of course they want to come back on what they used to possess. Oh! Still not contented!
So, How to be contented in life?
• LEARN TO ACCEPT WHAT YOU HAVE BUT DON’T STOP TO ACHIEVE MORE
Accept what is happening in your life right now because if you don’t no one out there will accept it for you, except if you are rich because everybody wants to be rich but still there are a lot of problems accompanying of being rich. Try to be better yourself and achieve more, because life is a continuous process of ups and downs. Sometimes you’ll lose, sometimes you’ll win.
• MATERIAL THINGS IS NOT THE MEASURE OF WHO YOU ARE
If you think material things can get it done? Yes 20% of the time, your 80% will not. Material things can vanish in a split of a second with no warning, so what it implies? Don’t be materialistic too much. You are not your car, you are not your business, you are not your big house, you are not your work, and then who are you in the first place? You are a human being live for human being.
• SET YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE YOUR OWN BOSS
Whatever is happening to you is because you choose to be that way. Well sometimes circumstances happen beyond our control that is understandably, but that is just a slim chance of the big picture. What is the big picture? The big picture is every action has its corresponding reaction. If you act a certain way then the reaction will react that certain way also. You are who you think you are.
• LEARN TO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE
Sometimes we forget the little things that make us happy because we are focusing a lot on those big things. We are all concentrated to be a part of the big pie not minding the small steps we have to take on the way. Is it nicer to stop for a while and observe everything around you? Yah there’s a lot of beautiful things surrounding you. Try to see, try to hear, try to smell, try to taste and try to touch. All of those things can be worth noticing.
• BE A SERVICE TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO NEEDS HELP
We can’t solve every problem this world has, but don’t let yourself stop for the small things that you can do for people. We all needs help sometime in our life and we need people to help us, that’s why don’t forget to help people because they will also be the one who would help you if you’re on trouble.
These are the simple steps on how to be contented in life, maybe you can add more.
“Life is complicated when you are a complicated person”. “Simplicity can get things done”.
So are you contented with your life?

life assure me one thing,, from all those years, when everything seems okay.. i could find contenment in life, simply having people around laughing, giving courage to them how bless they are for what they already have, every problems and circumstances it was just a big blessing. Why? because you would not be in the place were you are now if you haven’t been strong,, contentment in life its from not asking so many questions, it was just living in the life you have
Great article. There’s lots great information here, though in order to do want to let you know something — I’m running Mac pc Os utilizing the latest experiment with of Chrome, and the look your own weblog is kind of flaky for me. I read the actual posts, however navigation doesn’t work therefore good.
I dont really know what you talking about here. This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It seems like you understand a lot, so why not explore it more? Make it a lot more accessible to everyone else who might not concur with you? Youd get a lot a lot more people behind this should you just stopped making general statements.
