Many times we get so over ambitious that we forget to acknowledge the presence of the possession we have which others do not even have. To be content with what you have is first, acknowledging that what u have today is another man's prayer point. To be content means not going after things beyond you to get by all means even if it is to sin just to prove to the society that you have arrived. Contentment gives you a drive to become a better person without showing envy or jealousy for another person's wealth. Contentment breeds genuine satisfaction. This is not to say, contentment makes you feel so comfortable in your zone without aspiring to be better . It simply means you are thankful for the state you are in now, you are also thankful for the next phrase you see yourself in and you live an emotionally stable life .Be content and live happily.
But people like us believe in reality for desires. The more you desire means the greater you become. Big thanks for your advice
