Most people don’t know that contentment and satisfaction actually start with your mindset. People can be content in their minds regardless of the situation they are in. If you make satisfaction your mindset, you can choose to be satisfied right here and right now regardless of external factors you have going on. Satisfaction is what keeps us content, so if we are able to be satisfied, we can also be content. Keep in mind that your level of satisfaction might be different than someone else's. It’s important not to compare yourself to others as this can hinder your growth and contentment. If you are comparing yourself to others, you will never be truly satisfied because you will be concentrating more on what other people have and how you can be like them. Being satisfied is hardest when you are currently in need of something. You might feel like you have to have something before you can be satisfied.
