How to Be Satisfied With What You Have

Our inability to be satisfied with what we have stems from living in marketing societies that insist we need to keep purchasing more in order to be fulfilled. Time-strapped and cash-poor, we continue to strive for what we believe,some people have 

more money, bigger houses, faster cars, and lovelier spouses. All this wanting is leaving us unhappy and dissatisfied, however. Instead of wanting what we haven't got, it can be a pure revelation to turn around and want what we already have. Here is a start on your path to satisfaction here and now.

Be happy: Whenever you feel you are down in something, think of something that makes you feel calm. It can be an ocean wave, open sky or a guy/girl you like.

Stop being frustrated: Replace anger and inability to control things and other people with rational thinking.

Be calm: Relax, & or meditate. Remember- what we now have was once among the things we wished for.

Stop comparing yourself to others: When you compare yourself to someone else, you'll always find someone who has it better than you. ALWAYS. So- why do it? Sometimes it's better to enjoy the moonlight than to reach for the moon.

Enjoy happiness now: Since there's always someone who has it better, there's always someone who has it worse. So just enjoy life, let things go, & do whatever makes you happy.

Overcome addictions: Addictions are a sign that you're not focusing on the world around you but are trying to seek escapism. Don't ignore reality, find the good things & make your reality as good as your dreams. It can happen.

Live simply: So that others may simply live goes the adage... but the truth is, too much stuff is clutter and weighs us down. Realistically, how much of that stuff in your house do you really need and use regularly?

Be grateful: Be thankful. Being grateful is healthy for you. Whatever you have already got - be it health, loved ones, career, interests, hobbies, a car, clothes, a home, great views, talents, etc., make the most of it and be grateful for it. We take it all for granted, and many people would kill for what we have.

Get out in the fresh air, appreciate nature, spend time with loved ones all free but deeply satisfying.

Be confident: Much unhappiness stems from the fact that we focus on the negatives of our life more than the positives. Having a confident attitude will help you to focus on your strengths, possibly walking away from a situation dwelling contentedly on what went right instead of what went wrong/could have gone better.

Tips:

• Don´t wait for it to happen on it´s own. The only person that is able to get satisfied with what he/she has is you. You can start things right now, so get up and just do it!
• Smile at people the reaction may surprise you, but it will usually please others. This is happiness!
