The grass is always greener on the other side....
We as humans need that feeling of needing more all the time, for us to keep seting goals for ourselves... Then it is kind of bad we always seem to need more and more... But look at it just as a excuse to keep seting goals for you life and keep fighting and working for what you want...
What would be of us, if we all just sitted down and stoped following our desires... We all would end up like monks in a Monastery meditating to reach Nirvana haha!
The kind of people able to be happy with what they have are the ones living in temples or Monasteries meditating.....
Live your life, and reach your desires and your new never-ending goals

I think that contentment is very elusive. Once we achieve something, we're always looking for the "next level" or something better. I really believe that it's part of human nature. On the other hand, if you're a truly spiritual person, I think that genuine faith will help you to reach a certain level of contenment. But is anyone ever 100% satisfied with their life, what they have, and what they have accomplished? I don't think so, but I guess that anything is possible. If anyone is at this point in their life, it must be an amazing and divine feeling.

Learning contentment takes time and patience....if you are religious, you probably know to be grateful to God for everything you have been blessed with and will be in the future. When you are full of gratitude, it would be hard not to feel content and pure joy for all you have.

There are two ways to be rich-----One is to have everything you want, and the other is to be satisfied with what you've got. I think that is the essence of contentment.

To be content ones has to be happy with ones self, not just the material items one owns.
Not just liking what you have but wanting what you have.....
Contentment is in the heart not the things you own....
Best wishes

"Money can't buy happiness"
Most of us have heard this said at one time or another and it's true. There are some who have been deceived into to placing "money" and the love of what it buys before God.
