Contentment and Happiness

Let's face it, most people are not satisfied with their lives. Most of us want to achieve more and more. We want to have the latest gadgets and buy new clothes every time we go to malls. Some of us are narrow-minded at times. We don't consider how lucky we are and we tend to overlook the blessings that God is giving us. We don't see the good things, we only tend to look at the imperfections or the incompleteness we are experiencing. Sometimes we complain if we don't get the things we want, but wouldn't it be better to think that even though we don't have everything at least we don't have nothing.

Be thankful with what you have and be satisfied. Contentment can't be acquired overnight. You need to practice it. You must try to be happy and contented even with simple things. Try to be positive. If you have a problem and you feel like the world is on your shoulders, why not think about people who have problems bigger than yours.

There are people who go to their beds at night with an empty stomach. There are a lot of people who don't have homes and just sleep on sidewalks yet are somewhat contented with their lives. You put a smile on their face even with a small amount of money you give them or even by giving them the food you are holding.

Try to make a simple list of the blessings or good things you experience everyday, like a good result from an examination, a good feedback for a project, a smile from your crush, a delicious meal with your family and a lot more. By making this list, you are able to record how lucky you are.

If everyone could just realize how fortunate they are in several ways, they are on their ways to achieving satisfying and happy lives.
