Hi friends, I used to question myself often like am i satisfied with what i am ? But most of the time it is No. I don't know why . But i feel unsatisfied with what i am now. Because during my college days i had lots and lots of dreams. Being a women i feel like i am in a need to sacrifice myself for my husband , kids and in-laws etc. Sacrifice means don't think big. It might be even a little adjustment. But if we do something without our interest also makes us to feel unsatisfied. Doing something for other's interest also makes us feel unsatisfied. What do you think people ? Are you satisfied with what you are now ?

At the present i hate myself very much. I'm too lazy, i'm not sexy, i haven't much success yet... All the things let me felt depressed. I want to have a good job, but i don't what i can do. I want to live happily, but my living is in the dark. No work, no money, no lover, no future... Who can help me? I know i must stand up by myself, but i have no ability, i'm just too trivial...

Yes I am satisfied with my life. Even there is a sacrifice, adjustment in life. But when you see poor people who has no food to eat properly, no shelter for live, no cloth for wear i feel I m on the better position. When you see people of lower standard than you, I think you feel like you r on heaven. But If you think whatever you received is less then it is your way of life to see. I think the people watching you may feel that you are one of the happiest person and feel jealous for what you have. So no regret for what you have always smile

I dont think Im satisfied with what i am now.People say you will be happier if you content with what we can.So those who are never satisfied with what they are dont feel happy in the bottom of their hearts.They think they deserve more.I have lots of dreams too.And Im always thinking about ways to make all my little dreams come true.Good luck.

Hi, I'm not very satisfied my situation now, I live in a big city, but the salary is not very high, so I can only rent a small house, I really wish I could have my own house, and don't need to move from one place to another, so I'm thinking about my future these days, and I think I need to move to a small city, and begin my new life.

Hi Well with each responsibilities come different types of sacrifices. In this life there is always a need for trade off. you need to trade-off something for the sake of something. Your hubby for instance has to trade-off some quality times with you and your kids in order to earn money for the family and keep you comfortable. You on the other hand need to make some trade off with your dreams and ambitions to fulfill your responsibility as a wife and mom. Humans are social creatures, when you live as a group you need to co exist and adjust. That way you are never ever satisfied with what you have. This is a universal law. You need to surpass the levels of physical and emotional attachment to feel content. Hope this answers your question. I am a human like you and I am always looking to improve, hence there is always level of higher satisfaction to achieve

Well, I can say that I'm not satisfied with what I am now. Although, somehow I felt fulfillment having raised my two kids well enough all alone by myself since I was widowed at a very early age. Yes, in terms of that I am satisfied and happy but still, in my mind there's this feeling that I need to do better. I still have many more dreams which are not satisfied yet up to this point in my life. Sometimes I often got depressed thinking about it. I also have my regrets in life through my experiences in my younger years. I often tell myself maybe if I had done that, I'm not what I am today. Maybe I'l be more successful in life and I had made all my dreams a reality.

Yes, I guess so. I know I really don't have much to show to people, and I know that I can't have everything I want, but I am somehow satisfied with what I am now. Sometimes I would think that I can really be something if I only want to, but being who I am right now is all that matters to me. Well, at least for now. But don't get me wrong, I do have dreams and aspirations in life, and I want to achieve them someday. It's just that, I only enjoy the present and I make the most out of my time now. I am content, and I strive for improvement at the same time. It's kind of weird but I am just like that in a way. Take care!:)

Yes , Most of time we question ourselves often if being satisfied with ourslver living conditions. The conclusion is no.Why? Because we need improve ourselvs step by step for better foods , beautiful clothings and capacious room and so on. So we must work hard and hard,menwhile, we should increase ourseleves ability stage by stage.Let's try our best to improve together !

i'm not very satisfied with my life now...i had live my younger years devoted to my family...i am a home-based mom with 2 kids...everything i've done to keep my family happy and intact but it did not end that way... I am separated with my husband, I had my problems with my eldest daughter, i had a grandson with her. My youngest son who once to be the sweetest son ever has a girlfriend already and his time was devoted to her now.. and now i was left alone.

I think I'm quite satisfied because I am walking the right path, I just need to concentrate on my ambitions and go studying something after I earn enough money to do so, I'm still very young, and I should focus on that and my happiness.

Happy? Yes. Satisfied? No. My reason behind it is I think I can do better than where I am now. I still want to achieve more and do more with my life so no, I am not satisfied yet because I havent quite reached my goals.

The only way to remain happy is to be content with whatever our present state is. While I agree that we should have aspirations but with an attitude of not appreciating what we presently have happiness will be elusive at all times. It is not how much we have but what we make of what we have is the true secret of happiness.
