This is a simple topic , everyone can say they are being content with what they had. I have an apartment in USJ, my husband have a semi-D house in Kedah, we have a 5 year's old clever daughter, we are in our middleage, and we have our health in good condition, what left for us for not being content with our life? I feel myself being happy when I go back to my small and comfy apartment everyday after tired work. I am content with I am driving a new 1.6 Proton Persona, who cares people said the seat is not fine, and the car is petrol consuming? So, i am very content with what i had.
But how come everytime when I went to my cousin house seeing his newly renovated double storey house, and his new car Honda Accord. I get this sour feel in my heart keep blaming myself not being able to reach this stage of living standard, and how I wish i could be him. Why is that our heart is alway changing when we see or compare with others achievement? Isn't that i have enough of what I want and need?
There is a truth with this fact. Let me tell you simple illustration, people said life is like walking on a seesaw, when you stand at the left side, you seeing people on the right part is higher than you, so you climb your best to reach the right part-the peak which you always imagine, when you come to the right side, you only realise that you are actually reaching the bottom of you life, sometime it take a lifetime to learn that, we can only go to the peak when we are able to balance ourself in the middle of the seesaw.
So I start trying to balance my life, what is giving me too much pressure to achieve is actually bringing me go down the seesaw, and what is too much relax is the same too. I want to treasure what I can have, can do, can happy with now, at this very moment, and only this very moment is really true to us, the past is the past, the future never happen yet, only this minute when I am typing my feeling hoping that i would get someone notice and seeing deep inside me, and that I could get some responce or to change someone opinion with my view.Then this minute is meaningful for me.
Last but not least, do not compare with others. They are not you, and they have their path to go.
I learn that being content is being content with yourself.
being too content with ourselves, sometimes is not a good thing. by that time, we got no motivation of going forward.
