I just realized in the last few days that I am completely content with the life I have and was wondering if your life was sufficient enough for you and if you're happy. Do you strive for something more? What's your story?

My friend and I have this conversation often. Sometimes you get the feeling like "Is this all there is?" THere are days I am completely content and so thankful for all I have...a loving, caring husband, a beautiful 9 month old son that I adore, a wonderful family, and a job that I...well, Love is a strong word...LIKE!
But, then there are days I wonder what if???
I think it is human nature to always wonder what else is out there. And if you had made different choices where would life have led you? Very deep huh? :)

There's no school right now (college), and I only work part time for a small salary. I see my fiance almost every night, and we usually go out.
It is too hot in the daytime to go anywhere, and frankly, I'm bored sitting in the house when not working. There are 3 cars in this household, but all are in need of major repairs.
Yes, I strive to finish college and get into a career that I'm interested in. I also strive to make enough money this summer to at least get one of the cars repaired. My fiance and I are not setting a date too soon (my request) because I'm really serious about my education and starting a career. After awhile, I would like to marry him and have children.

I'm not sure, I think that right now things could be better for me and my family, we're just having financial trouble, other than that, if you would have asked me this last year this time, I would have said I was content. Right now, I feel like our hands are tied, our jobs aren't making the money we were before. I have to remind myself that it could always be worse. So, I don't want to be ungrateful and say that I'm not content, I guess I am cuz I could be in a worse situation.
I'm happy for you to be content, most people are greedy and expect more and will never be happy with their lives and what they have.
Good luck and keep the happiness!

No - bad financial setbacks (a lost job - about 5 paychecks behind) but working now and can't pay rent/electric because things got so bad and we're trying to get help and don't know if we can or not. It's like a living hell - there's so much more bad stuff going on - I couldn't put it on here. I hate being afraid of being homeless. It is frightening. I'm happy for you though!! I'd be really sad if I knew other people were in this situation and I know of no one in this situation or even been in this situation. We've worked hard all our lives and for nothing.

Yes, my life as it is now is sufficient enough for me. I have started doing things that I have put off and put off. Now, it seems like there is a whole new world opening up to me, and I'm standing on the edge of something wonderful.

Well, truth is...if I were to maintain the life I have for the rest of my life, I couldn't complain. Life is good and I'm thankful, but I thrive for it to be great. My answer is..I'm happy enough. I don't know if that sounds right to you. I'm not completely content with life, but it's still good.

I am at point in my life were I am content, however, I feel I should be doing more, although I am waiting for my job to stabilize due to downsizing, I still feel my direction isn't really related to my financial needs. If my current job should not stabilize I have another direction that I have trained for, however, I don't feel its thee direction that I should just leave my current employer for and start another direction until that time should come...and yet I feel I haven't found my nitch in life but I get the feeling that next move will not be it but may get me closer to it.

I am a young 13-year-old dude in VA, brought here by my family from Mexico. I am not content with my life because I have not yet met Death in the face. I have a dream, to fight in a war, and finally come up to my fears, and stare death in the face.
