Before you answer this question think real hard,100% is that you wouldn't change anything or desire anything more in your life you are 100% fullfilled.

I saw an episode of Oprah Winfrey ,She was talking to Amish Folk and this is exactly what they said -We are 100% content with our lives! Me personally can't see it.

I rather doubt ANYONE is "100% content" with his/her life. There's ALWAYS something that could be improved on. And if anyone's "100%" fulfilled, well, I'd say they either have a very low level of "fulfillment" or they're kidding themselves.
I wouldn't WANT to be 100% - cows in grassy fields are probably 100% content. In that situation, what would there be to strive for? Life would be awfully dull, I'd say.
To quote Robert Browning:
" Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?"

I think that there is no such thing. No matter how much you tell yourself you're content, there's always something MORE that you feel that you either want or need. If you're poor, you want a home and family to love and be loved by. If you're rich, you want to be poor to see what REAL life is like (like not all the time, just for one fleeting moment at SOME point of their life or another!!). And of course there's those times when you're on vacation, you're on a rowboat somewhere, and nature calls. You know? =]

I am 100% 'content' that there is little I 'can do' about my life. The 'past' is over and the 'future' holds what? Even in this moment,that I would like to fully appreciate, is unknown. Living with discontentment is as probably as close as we will ever get to contentment.

No, I am not 100% content with my life. I'm not even 20% content with my life. It's like the person who said, "Discontent makes you move forward" I suffer from depression though, and that makes my life more difficult.

NE-VAH!
Contentment breeds stagnancy, and that's NOT GOOD. I shall fight, forever, against the forces of [insert something evil here] and try to do good. It's enough of a battle as it is. I'm going to bed now, to rest up, 'cause every day's a battle - a fight, a crusade, a war on all things bad. Let the good win in the end!

This is a hard one to answer. I would like to think that I am....but is anyone ever really content? I am content with different areas of my life, however, there are some that I would like to work on to reach that goal, such as finances, career, education...

I can say that I am 100% content with my life, but I would not be uttering truth. It might be safer to say that I am 99% content with my life. Not!

sure, some mistakes are worth making, because you learn from them, but of course, deep down, i think that everyone would go back and change something. me for instance, i would have spent more time with my only grandfather before he died, even though i learned that lifes short so make the best of what you have.
