It's human nature to be always unsatisfied with everything. I guess we just learn how to be contented but that does not mean we stop working hard. To me, I'd just be contented and happy with my life by giving my best to everything and let everything fall into place. I'm fine even if I don't get rich, I can be happy without a big house, or having a lot of money.

I'm very satisfied with my life but it took about 50 years to get there. Once you start changing your life for yourself and not for others you will love your life. I worked for thirty-two years to support my two beautiful daughters. Then after owning two homes and selling them both God has granted me the life of contentment living on a tropical island with sunny skies and a beautiful home with a great yard of fruits and veggies. You need to set goals for yourself and see them through to make your life happy and content. You can't think about what you don't have think about what you do have and work on achieving the things you really need in life to be happy. Happiness in ones life is different for every person in this world. Make yourself happy by doing the things you love to do.

Many people struggle to earn enough money. Many have to struggle with housing, etc...what I am trying to say is that for many people it is quite normal to feel unsatisfied, especially when life seems to present one struggle or obstacle after aanother. I have no answers as to why some of us have more hurdles than others. There are some days I feel discontented, others I fweel great! Hang in there, keep on smiling, keep on looking for those bright moments, no matter how tiny they might seem :)

If a person earns something for a living even though small earnings but can support to feed the family, have kids at least 4, then I am sure a person must fully satisfied with his her life.

I am not quite sure if I am contented with my life but I sure i'm happy living with it. My life is very simple. I go to work everyday. I have a boyfriend my family is complete and in fact it is very typical.. I earn good but since I am paying a lot of debts,,, so money is sometimes a problem to me too,, but even if I lack money I still feel happy. Money is important but it is not everything that matters with me. I am just greatful of what I have because I know that I am more blesse than other do buit still remain to be happy so why shouldn't I???? right???

I do not think if anybody satisfied with their life. whenever we want something and we get that , we become more greedy to have more of what we want, but we can make ourself happy and satisfied with small and little things like seeing a bird, a flower, sunrise, smile of kids, sound of children play in ground and.... It does not need to have a big house or lots of money for that. Happiness is something within us, typing with hands, reading this comments and... so many things are there to make us happy and thankful, I also do not have things, If somebody ask me what you have, no reply just I have God, sorrowes of my life that has given me life;s experience and my kid... nothing else more than this....

Hello! Contentment is so hard to achieve in this world. While we are still alive, suffering, happiness, and other situation in our life, still worries, discontentment and problems are there. I think all of us agree that we live in this by God's plan. For when discontentment and problems arises i will just think positively that God has a plan for everything in our life. I believe God has a control to us and I believe also that all things work together for good to them that love God. So, just hang on, be happy, just do every task in your life for a living and believe God above all so that He will direct your path.

I should say that I am also going through your phase.No bank balance,don't have a good job etc etc.But at the same time I should also mention that this is the thriving force in my life. I need to achieve all these that's why I am working hard.We should not get down only because we don't have any luxuries. In fact we should work to achieve it,to achieve the success.

I have lots of things, but I don`t know if I would say that I`m satisfied with my life. I would like to have a partner with me so we could do things together. I`d like to have a little bit more money, but not alot more. I would want some more health.

Although I constantly look for ways in order to improve my present way of living, it doesn't mean that I am not contented with my life. I am happy with my present life. I have my family, my work and some friends around who could share some views and opinions about anything. If times would come that I would feel frustrated over something that I did not get, I will just have to look back and I could see my life before. That is enough for me to realize, oh I have gone a long way. Far, far from my old life. Happiness is contentment of what we have but this should not stop us from improving. Have a nice day!

Right now, not really. But I am not stressed and I am just going with the flow. Trying to think positive as much as I can. Life goes on no matter what.

well. compare your life with a handi-capped. some may dont have an eye. a leg. a hand. or anyting else that destroys there life. they cant have a legit job. better education or anyting. what your saying is somthing your not satisfied about but comparing to them your in heaven. or how about an orphan. a kid raised without knowing who his parents are. but we have them. they raised us loved us. but for them?... they dont even have a memory of their parents. but some are still happy. but peoplel ike us are never satisfied with what we have. All of us have different needs. if we get better sAlary we arent enough... Ask Bill gates if he is satisfied with what we have. we will hear a BIG NO. from him.. its human nature. NEVER ENOUGH.! ;) .. learn to be happy with what you have

I wish my life were better, as since I got my divorce, things have gone downhill. At the time of my divorce, I just wasn't used to being alone, and doing things on my own. when I need help with something, i don't have anyone here to help me, and that sucks. Now, my son lives about 30 miles away, and I can't always ask him as he has a life and family, and he works a lot and never has time to do things for me. I also wish my finances were better, but hopefully they will get better in time. having been aline for six years now, I have learned to cope with it, and have tried to do my best to make the most of it. I am trying to stay smiling and not worry about things, but it is hard at times. I will just hope and pray that things get better for me in time. Take care, and have a very good day.

I think it is in our nature to always want what we don't have and I think that is fine as long as we work hard to achieve these and we do not step on other people in the process. There's nothing wrong with working hard for a house of your own, or the car you've been dreaming of, or the wedding that you have been obsessing over, even that very posh purse that you have been wishing for. We all have different priorities and as long as we do things fairly, who is to say that we shouldn't? Right now, I am fairly satisfied with my life. Of course I have lots of stuff that I want to achieve, things that I want to succeed on, but like I said, I am willing to work hard for it.
