Are you content with your life?

Question

If not, are you really working hard to change your life/fulfillcertain goals? I can't say I'm content with it, it's definitely not what I imagined years ago, but I'm definitely trying my best to try my best to bring some changes and be happy. Hopefully I'll reach that stage someday where I can say, "Yes! I'm very content. Very happy."

You?

If I had one piece of advice for you Genie it's one that was told to me at your age. It was "Nobody is going to ask where you started just where you finished". Life is a journey. Don't get so caught in where you're at. Just stay focused on making your life better.

Last year was probably the worst year of my life. I broke both feet, caught covid, ended up in the ICU, then spent a month in the hospital, was discharged to a nursing home to continue my rehab (that made me feel old I was 30 years. Younger then the avg. Person there lol). Then after i was discharged from there I was fired from my job (my health was a liability to them so they were looking for a reason to get me off their payroll).
So at the moment I'm in a temporary retirement. Or at least that's what I'm calling it. I've spent the last 25 years. Working hard, living below my means, and investing heavily so I can afford it. But I wasn't very happy at my job. And it doesn't matter how well you're paid if you're unhappy so I consider it a positive thing. I consider myself truly blessed. And even after last year I can say I'm happier right now then I've ever been in my life and I look forward to the next chapter.
Yes I am content... but not satisfied. I can always do better. I'll be satisfied when I'm dead lol.

I’m pretty content. I have a great job, a good place to live, and I’m healthy/don’t have any big vices weighing me down. My paycheck is clearly more than I need for a base living, so money isn’t an issue— benefits of software development 🙂. Sure, there are things I could always improve (e. g. developing more of a social life, home life improvements), but I’m pretty happy with my life otherwise. Likewise, I know that the only things currently preventing me from doing my life improvements are either time (aka saving up money) or motivation (aka pushing myself to meet new people). It’s something with a clear solution, so it doesn’t cause me much anxiety.

Nope. I was, but thanks to Covid I'm now unemployed and unable to find a job. I'm a IT Technician by trade (I also worked in PC repair stores too) but no matter what all my attempts have failed, nobody responds to my emails and the few interviews I did have flopped so yeah things ain't going too good right now, lucky I have my partner to keep us going steady but I'd rather he wasn't the only one contributing :(

a simple answe is yes…  i have everything I need and more for now and for the future. I have friends, family. I am content and grateful. Or lucky not sure

Finchie40 · Answer

For the most part yes but I feel lonely to the point that I am not sure if love really exists , most people today are selfish and only really care about themselves , when you finally meet someone you give your heart to , it gets shit on , so you ask yourself what is really the point of loving someone that can’t really love you back? We all want to feel loved and wanted But in most cases it’s a temporary thing , people get bored and think grass is greener on the other side

NathanDavis · Answer

I would say, yes... for the most part there's peace of mind, and I'm healthy enough... but is all an ongoing and work-on process, to keep it that way and to find some balance

looking forward for more things to come, and working for it, of course...

strawhatEli · Answer

I'm at point in life, where I'm no longer sure that whether I'm satisfied or not. It's been quite a journey to reach here. Sometimes it feels right that, it's better than few years back, other days it feels like I've wasted a lot of potential in few years. I would say it just depends on the mood. Truly each day I'm trying to be better at stuff I was not, like physical fitness or being at peace with oneself.

Cheers to life!

JSmuve · Answer

I wouldn't say I'm content. I've just accepted where I'm at, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. I have a difficult time not thinking about where I might be if I had done x instead of y. And I have a difficult time seeing it improve in any meaningful way in the future.

Ad_Quid_Orator · Answer

Things have been rough for me for the past 2 years (even before the pandemic hit). But I just remind myself that we all go through difficult times in life; but it doesn't last.

MCheetah · Answer

Not at all. Only thing I love right now is my job teaching. But being forever alone due to being too short/unattractive sucks. I'm missing love/relationships in my life, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Nagahime · Answer

Nope, not at all. I'm still trying to get my life together. Still need to get my license, go to school, get a good paying job, etc. Right now, I'm just a loser.

Not really. I excel at my job and have become severely OCD due to boredom stemming from me being lonely due to lack of trust or belief because of some women from my past.

Not really. But I can't complain. I'm not a woman living in Afghanistan, so in comparison, I guess my life is great. However, I'm not feeling it right now lol.

crmoore · Answer

Not quite. Until I'm married to the love of my life, I won't be. I'm sure there are other factors, too, but that's the primary one.

Pretty content, tho it could be better, than it could be worse.

Redstang88 · Answer

Not for a while
Honestly it’s mostly due to not even knowing where what I want to do with it. Was off to a good start in my dream career, making lots of money, living where I’d wanted to be since I was a kid and hated every second of it. Don’t really know what to do next

Idiotikhumanz · Answer

ranvjsc · Answer

This type of feelings come and go for me. Now, I don’t have any complains. My life is better than the past because of my friend.

I really need an opinion about things but I won’t ask any questions on my profile about this but can talk to a trustworthy person in private message. 🫂
