The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recu­perate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not en­joy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

If we all were, maslow wouldn't have come up with 'maslow's hierarchy of needs'#im grateful to God for what I have...but he's not done with me yet

If you need to hear God speak to you, then read HIS words the BIBLE. That is the only way you can hear Him speak to you now.

Yomieluv:
Am not,till my name is on Forbe's list,am not resting.

how about getting that name on Heaven's list?

Yes I am satisfied

uumm:

how about getting that name on Heaven's list?

are we talking celestial things here,common don't be too religious than the pope.

First, let me say the way I see it, satisfaction is not a final destination (that'll mean your death cos u expect to stop everything) but progress on a given path.

Secondly, most people in our culture (cum western culture) only think of satisfaction and success in terms of money, material stuff and pursue it vigorously (those saying satisfaction make u content, lazy etc.) This idea will only keep u chasing till u die.

To me, satisfaction comes from the inside i.e. inner joy, happiness & health, you build this up from which it flows outward. So rather than going for money hoping to get satisfaction, satisfaction gives you money. I mean money is a bonus. I see some people who have a lot of money in my environment and their lifestyle is something else! needless to say, I don't envy em.

I'm not saying money is not part of satisfaction cos it is, but its only a part & doesn't by itself guarantee satisfaction.

Lastly, for those waiting for 'God' to show them their purpose, everything you need to succeed in life has already been given you since the day u were born. So your PURPOSE is what you give yourself. I suggest you dig deep within and find what gives u joy, fills u up with satisfaction and resonates within your heart cos its through this that your fountain of money & abundance will flow. Life is meant to be truly abundant in all areas.

This is the code I TRY to live by evey single day. Am I satisfied with my way of life? #inoptimusprimevoice
HELL YEAHHH!!!

Remember, each day is a gift & not a given right, every second counts & the best things in life are truly free.

For me, I AM NOT, I haven't made the impact I wanna make..
I want to leave my foot prints on the sand of time.
I want to put smile on those crying faces..
I want to touch lives and give the downtrodden a reason to rise and defend themselves....

GOD knws am not satisfied yet, until I have the resources and do that which my heart yearns for, I WON'T BE SATISFIED,, so help me God!!!!!!

fabiano09:

Contentment is satisfaction and satisfaction is contentment. Contentment does not mean u shouldn't hope for better. Like the early rain of the Holy Spirit has come into the world on the pentecost day but we wait for the latter rain of the Spirit which d Father will sent soon to the world.

Tell me how hard ur life is

Tell me how hard ur life Is

. Contentment can have a good and bad side to it. You should strive to do more in things that are productive,honorable and go a long way in imparting a lot of positivity in people's lives- not in things that gives you a one minute fame from the wrong crowd who don't care to know 'jack' about you when the spot light is no longer on you.

HIS Purpose for you is in HIS Word! Seek it & you will find it!

And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. - Isaiah 58:11

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. - Joel 2:26

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. - Psalm 107:9

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. - Psalm 34:10

They are the ones who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. Their bread will be supplied, and water will not fail them. - Isaiah 33:16

Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. - Isaiah 65:13

Some of great verses in the Book of Life .... Words of God are Life !

fabiano09:
You people dont get it,when i said satisfied with the life your living,i didnt mean money or achievements,as nigerians thats the only thing we think of,i meant morally,your relationship with ur family,strangers,how u treat others,happiness,contentment for being alive etc.

perhaps your question should be are you happy with yourself.

some people are constantly berating themselves over what they think might have been, instead of accepting themselves as they are.


as for me,

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”


Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.



My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.


I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

No am not.

There is no yes or no answer to this question cuz satisfaction and success are relative it means different things for different people. People should first understand that life is not a competition So stop measuring life with other people's tape rule or standards

You may not be were you want to be but understand that you are exactly were God wants to you be and no matter what you think you could have done differently you will still be exactly were you are right now.

While it ia not humanly possible to succeed in each n every endeavour how you respond to your failure matters a lot cuz u might loose the battle but win the war

Life is not a destination it is a journey you have to enjoy it each step of the way otherwise when you get to ur final destination (death) you just find out that you passed by life n you did not notice

I may not be as rich as dangote (thats why he is dangote n am not) and my name may not be on forbes list but the happiest and most satisfying, grateful part of my day is when I come home from work n my kids chorus daddy welcome! ! daddy welcome! ! No amount of money no forbes list no dangote trailer can beat that

And for pips that dont have jobs or r not married and so r not satisfied just remember life is in phases and everything is alright in the end and if it is not alright it is not the end

For me n people around me satisfaction guaranted whether na chicken n chips or na garri n groundnut its all good in the hood.

make the best of every situation your find ur self.cheers

Then get married sir

First things first bro

No. By the way, @op, is your question targeted towards Christians only? Because with all these references to the Bible and God, that's what it looks like to me.

I'm satisfied... playing basketball. knowing God.. getting my pay of 50k. monthly. an undergraduate. in 200 level... no stress..
