What does it mean to be content? Being content with your life means you're satisfied with what you have and who you are. Instead of forever comparing yourself to others or wishing you had a different life - more like theirs than yours that you are blessed with. Myopic as we are, we do not count our blessings.
Unfortunately, when you compare, you only see the gloss. It is only when you live through the other's life will you realise and experience their pangs and pains.
Sometimes, I feel that once you experience and have an inner view into the life of others that you coveat, you may actually pray and want to come back to your original life.
No matter how successful you are .. unless you are content, you will never be at peace. Look around your office and you will find suffecient worldly successful professionals driving Mercedes and yet emotionally depressed with their career around.
Ever wondered why ? Go ask the wise amongst them.
