You mean to be content? There are lots of people out there more than willing to give you a dose of self-delusion for that, whether it's drugs, religion, self-help seminars, or something else to fill in the hole.
Of course, temporary feel-good things like this aren't necessarily going to make you content in the long run. But developing your own skills, achieving your own goals, and taking pride in your accomplishments gives content to many.

Just make up your mind that is how it will be. Paul the Apostle did it.
Phl 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.

Luk 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
3Jn 1:10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
In His Service,
John the Baptist

We each have to find our happiness and contentment on our own.. No one can provide you with or decide what will give you happiness and contentment but you ..
Search your own mind and find your own happiness and contentment..

A great sexual experience usually leaves me contented.

A well that is springing over ...
no longer a black-hole, needing supply from those around you, but instead having such abundance that you must give it away.

Accept yourself, have friends, find something enjoyable to pass the time, do no harm to others or the environment.
