Be Successful Versus Be Contented

Be Successful Versus Be Contented

One of those little-little noises reverberating just below the surface is where we should Be Successful Versus Be Contented enough?  And this is when we can blow this up to a bigger 'debate' because indeed, TRUE HAPPINESS is NOT found solely in material belongings OR even achievements.  In fact, LIFE can't be an EITHER/OR where we define SUCCESS as trapped in a rat race to keep up with others or fulfilled by sacrificing our outward SUCCESS to attend to our other emotional needs📗📙📘

BTW, achievements and satisfaction are two sides of the same coin.  It CAN'T be two different things to be achieved.  Our capacity for achievement is driven by our ability to form relationships and our own self-confidence.  And the more we are supported in life by having our WANTS addressed, the more we can then cultivate sentiments of CONTENTMENT💵💷💴

Experiencing HOW to feel CONTENTED [or fulfilled] is difficult if you HAVEN'T accomplished anything, so mastering the art of achievement is the first lesson in living an extraordinary life.  WHY don't we agree that this is our SUCCESS formula?  We are making dreams come true means mastering our achievement.  BUT achievement will only get you so far📌📌📌

Many people are unbelievably successful BUT still feel dissatisfied and unhappy.  It's like they CAN'T feel accomplished.  The MORE you become used to something, the LESS you appreciate it.  Psychologists did tag this as that 'LAW OF FAMILIARITY' but hey, this is NOT the way our life has to remain, right, if at all💊💊💊

What's our takeaway for today?  It's that we need MORE THAN SUCCESS in order to live a rich life.  We must live.  FULFILLMENT will only come WHEN we find WHAT makes us HAPPY, WHAT brings you joy, makes you satisfied.  Instead of expecting something and failing in that TRAP of FAMILIARITY, LET US APPRECIATE THAT IT IS ALREADY THERE❗❗❗
