On the whole then yes i am satisfied with what i have. I have a wonderful fiance and a beautiful daughter, a good job, car and a home. What more could i ask for? Ok the only thing that i would change is that i would like a little more money but who wouldnt? Thats just human nature like you say. I am very grateful for what i have in my life as i know there are others a lot worse off than me.

well, i have reently started my career, i have to settle in career, settle in family life and so on... i have a long way to go. i don't think i am satisfied with what i have. well, i accept life as it comes to me. i have higher aims in life, i strive to achieve them but don't repent or cry if i don't get them. i am not even jealous of others who are far better than me but to lead a life i need to think big and i do think big to achieve big.

I think, we are never satisfied in life. The more you get, the more will be your wish. If you think that by getting $5 at my will make you satisfied, after reaching, $5, you'll wish that you'll be satisfied after reaching $10. Now this goes on. The situation will be same with almost every thing. Even If you have a girlfriend & seems satisfied, after sometime, seeing some other girls, you will feel that you'll be more satisfied with a better girl!! So I prefer to be happy with what I have rather than giving wild dreams to my mind

I am grateful for the things i have in my life and i thank God for these things because i know there are others out there who have far less than i have. Do i want more of course who doesn't but i know that i have to work very hard to get what i want and as long as i put God first i will be blessed.

For the most part, I am happy with what I have. I learn to live, love, and appreciate life everyday and not to let a second pass when I am not happy, because before oyu know it, something horrible could happen and it could change your life forever. So be happy, live laugh love and enjoy life to the fullest extent possible.

It's natural to always want more, some have all the money they need but want more time and freedom to enjoy life, while others are never satisfied with what money they have. I have noticed that people who are older 60+ don't want as much as the younger people but that too is to be expected. Some would be happy if they just had enough to get by without having to worry about bills and such. No one even knows how much is enough so we all try to get more. I for one just want to live out the rest of my life without having to worry about money or where I can get enough to live on in a comfortable way.

There's a saying that 'One way to be happy is to be satisfied with what you have.' I guess we can not find fulfillment and happiness as long as there's no feeling of satisfaction in us. But you're right, its human nature to crave for more. I could say I am happy with what I have now, coz I know there are people who are less fortunate than me. But there's still a craving for me to wish for more, like to see my other son finish his degree and to see all sons to have a good job and a successful career, life and family.

only one answer to this question. I am not satisfied with my current life. i want more and more luxurious life. for instance i bought a new phone last month and i am satisfied for a month only. its latest version hit the market with advance feature. and me dont have any money for current month to buy the new phone. these instances are always there for mankind. perfect way is to pray to god for a satisfied current life. may god blees you all.

Hey, Well I am reasonably satisfied with my life, but I honestly say that I wish to have some more. I mean, I would like to have a little more money so I can buy the things that I need, like a better phone. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Well I do have some aim and goals in life, as if right now I'm satisfied. But as life progresses my expectations from myself increase and so does the level of my aims. Hence until and unless I reach my goals or complete my aim I won't be satisfied. And life is another name for progress and in progress process you cannot stay at one place, you need to keep changing, keep adapting and upgrading.

I do not think i am ever going to be satisfied. I cannot say for others but i know I do not look for satisfaction. I want to keep growing, keep evolving. Happiness would mean reaching a level where I do not want to develop further. I do not like the sound of that. I would always prefer an ambitious growth over contended happiness. As far as right now is concerned, no I am not satisfied. I look for more. More knowledge, more art, more and better friends, more meaning, more moments to remember... I can go on.

you're right friend. it's human nature that we never satisfied with what we have already had, but at least we have a dream. anything, you name it. maybe i want to get a new car, so i can travel to a long distant place. maybe i want to get more money, so i can pay my little brother's school fee. they can be anything, anything that you ever dreamed of. of course to make my dreams come true, i need to attempt to achieve those. anyway, it should be done appropriately with right manner. don't ever try to cheat or steal. the conclusion is, if i feel that there is something that i need to change in my present life, I'm gonna do that, but if i think that i have enough already, i would like to thank to God

I dont think there is anyone in the world that at somepoint or another that doesnt hope for alittle more or wish for alittle more for some area of there lives. Even though we may feel the fullfillment and satisfaction if we all took the time to really think about it I am sure that each one of us may come up with something that is wanted or needed even if it is the dumbest thing.

Yes I agree, it's a human nature that we are always not contented on what we have and we always want for more. Well, for me, I think I am not-so contented with my life but every time I remember the quote that "If you want to be happy, then be satisfied on what you have", not exactly that one but something like that. We must be contented if we want to be happy with our lives, learn to appreciate on what we have and do not envy others'.

Our desire to possess more is a primitive instinct.But personally,I am satisfied with my life.What is more important than a happy family ,a healthy body and sincere friends?Sometimes I am attracted by luxury .However,common sense prevails.After all,using money lavishly is a negative attitude towards life.I like peaceful life,not risky one.Some psychologists think people who like peace prefer green or blue.I am appropriately like these colours.But it doesn't mean I have no ambitions.I want to achieve progress in my study and have a bright future.Happy lotting.
