Contentment

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The dimensions of satisfaction for each person will clearly not be the same but certainly vary. There are those who feel satisfied because they can do something very easy, for example, being able to complete the work assigned to them, so that those who provide the work feel that what has been assigned to them can be completed well and those who do it experience satisfaction because they feel appreciated for what they do.
So all satisfaction can be adjusted to the situation of anyone taking action. It doesn't have to be the same as one another.

While it's true that the level and dimension of satisfaction may vary from person to person, it's important to always set your satisfaction to tally with your status, and this is what contentment is all about. Many people know fully well what their capacity and status is, yet still aspire and hunger for what they know fully well is beyond their capacity, which often leads to greed.

I'm not saying it's wrong to have big dreams, no, it's good to aspire for great things, but there's a big difference between aspiring for big things and wanting more than you ordinary should.

That's why I say that the level of satisfaction with one another will not be the same even though the meaning can be the same, namely satisfaction.
If the matter of my satisfaction is clear, if expressed, it is not certain that the level and similarity will be the same as someone else's level of satisfaction. The dimensions could be the same, but the levels could be different.
It's possible that what you say could happen, because satisfaction can make each person become greedy because the level of satisfaction he hopes for cannot be achieved with his expectations, but for him this could be a normal thing, maybe not for others.
It is difficult to describe each person's level of satisfaction, so it is also difficult for other people to understand and that is normal.

One of the greatest challenge of our human race is lack of contentment most especially in our youth. Trying to acquire more of anything is not bad if only u are using a resources or your resources as the case maybe to acquire what u want but when you want to acquire your desires but lack the resources to achieve the level of your desired outcome tends to lead to searching of other means possible beyond your capacity is purely lack of contentment. This resources can be monetary, power or orherwise. This has led to many of our youths doing things they ought not to do. Let's acquire what we want to acquire within the spheres of our capacity then we can grow it into a larger atmosphere.

The only thing that can be satisfying to us is death, everyone almost fall under this same shoe of exhibiting lack of being contempt in life, because we will always want to keep up with making pursuit in the race of life, though its not something that really bad because we need to strive more for perfection in life and for excellence but we shouldn't let lack of being satisfied get on us that we never realized to appreciate the little we've got and where we are.

The Pursuit of material success is a common phenomenon but sometimes this affects our balance in life.
It is important to re-evaluate values ​​and seek a balance between material attainment and happiness.
One must ascertain the values of paramount importance in life and prioritize these values over material possessions and wealth. Enhanced knowledge can facilitate the identification of detrimental behaviors and assist in maintaining a focus on more meaningful pursuits.

So for the youth, I would say 'Trust the process'

Human wants are insatiable and limitless, the more you have, the more you still want and wish to acquire.
Sometimes in life, what we want may not really be what we need, all we need is contentment, a lot of people have all it takes to be comfortable in life, a wonderful source/s of income and every other thing it takes to be comfortable in life, but the crazy speed of always needing more. If they can only stop for a second and reminisce on who or what the wealth they so much desire are for, then they'll realize that they do not really need so many things they crave and long for.

Not only in our youths but in human generally. The old politicians are also like that, and that is why they are corrupt and allow the citizens to live in poverty why they steal the country's funds because of lack of Contentment. Adults go ahead to do all sort of evil just to gain their selfish ambitions. Contentment is a virtue, because who ever is contented with what he has will live an upright, honest and humble life. Will I say that in our world today, only teachers are contented with their paycheck.

You are right, lack of contentment has been the one destroying or kill humans, we are not satisfied with what we have, we want to have more when we don't even work for it, this is why most people especially the youth are engaging in this that will fetch them quick money, they are ready to take any risk or go any length just because they want to meet up or feel among with others, nobody wants to get money in an easy way, they always want more, that is why there jealousy, greediness, selfishness and all that. So let's try and work hard if truly we are not satisfied with what we have, by working hard, we will get what we want or live the lifestyle we want, also we will not be intimated by people who are living a luxury life.

While living in the world, what we are looking for is a life filled with material things so that we can provide satisfaction obtained from the materials we have. Without materials we have no ability to do anything, including managing other people in our lives. But I agree that balance is needed in everything we seek, as well as with material things, so we must balance it with a life that is not always worldly desires but can also provide satisfaction to our inner selves, by providing moral assistance with the material things we have.
I think with good knowledge we can balance inner and worldly satisfaction, so that everything can go well.

Re: Contentment

I guess this is one thing that people can get all throughout their lives... or at least most will.

Most people will never be contented with what they have because they want more. In terms of money, if a person said that he wants a million and he achieved it, in the future he will ask for more because he isn't contented in what he has. Sometimes, being contented with what you have makes you a better person, but sometimes, there are also times where being contented will make you miss some opportunities around you.

Overall, being contented is kind of a subjective thing because there might be some who are just maximizing the opportunities around them, but there are some who really aren't contented at all even though they have it all.

Self contentment and wanting more may not always be on the opposite sides, someone may need more but that doesn't mean he isn't contented with what he has. What I mean is that, the more people grow and advance in life, so does their needs (not wants) and their responsibilities, so the need to advance in their income level are justified and may not be seen as not being contented.

Let's assume a bachelor has a particular income level and he's very okay with what he earns because it's able to sort out his daily needs and also allows him to build up and emergency fund, just incase emergencies occurs in the future. Then he gets married and have kids, there'll definitely be need for him to increase his income level in order to be able to fit in and  take care of his new responsibilities, he definitely needs more but that's also not being contented.

Most often, a person's dissatisfaction with what they have usually always concerns what they have, but it is not enough, and they always feel like they want more. The most correct thing, as you say, is "money", where even though you already have a lot of money and are considered enough, you still want to be able to do more than you already have, even though this dissatisfaction is expressed in actions that are expressed in clearly visible behavior.
With this act of dissatisfaction, you can turn back on oneself, because satisfaction always has limits and not everything will always be the same as one's wishes, but it can involve other individuals.

Agree with you because i don't look at other people wealth in leading life and lead life by spending money according to my own ability. I have a small business but i can't make it a big business overnight. even if i want to because it requires huge investment. I want to achieve my desires as much as possible within the realms of my abilities. It hits the youth society more because their demand is more than the capacity.

You are right, it is a matter of pride if we can stand on the abilities we have, not just looking at other people's abilities, but other people's successes that can be used as good examples of organizing our own lives.
Appreciation for your business, whether it starts from a small business, but because of the abilities you have, you will aim to become big in the future, according to the abilities you have, of course. Achieve your desires with the aim of becoming more successful and being an example for others.

To me there's nothing wrong with you being ambitious and trying to acquire thing's that are beyond your level because we as human being it's in our nature to be ambitious as human needs are unlimited, off course there's nothing wrong with you being contented with what you're doing or what you have but if you critically look into being content with what you have it's like you setting boundaries for yourself which is not too good. As human being am personally of the view of one being hungry for more

Contentment has its place, but wanting more keeps us moving forward and growing. There's a balance, though. Being content doesn’t mean we’re stuck it just means we’re grateful for what we have while still looking to achieve more.

[_act_]

One of the greatest challenge of our human race is lack of contentment most especially in our youth.

Its something good that we should try to develop a discipline kind of lifestyle in whatsoever thing we do, we should also be contempted and avoid being an ingrate, at least we should try in all things to express an attitude of being contempted, some will even tell you that they are not ready to start small or even work hard by paying the needed efforts for them to achieve a better height.
