I’m satisfied. Of course, there are times when I think of things that may or may not make my life more satisfying – but too much of that type of thinking tends to take focus away from the things that make my life great. You know, the often overlooked things or the things we often take for granted.
Thank you for taking your time to answer! If we think about it, the things we overlook are actually the things that make our life satisfying because those are signs of what we have accomplished.
I’m stepping in a deeper awareness of what needs healing and taking steps that lead there. Like taking a walk every day. Doing more yoga. Finding things that create more health and energy… and happiness!

Some days very others not so much, but if I get all I want in my life will I be satisfied? Who knows .
Very satisfied: a have a cosy flat, I am not starving, I can afford a few trips abroad per year, I have good friends and there’s nothing more I could really ask for 🙂
I strongly believe that satisfaction runs linear with time. It’s never stationary. With that being said, as long as I am free mentally and physically independent, I am satisfied.
Absolutely not 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂(sadly)
The older I get, the more I read and learn, the more I “see” things differently.
Most of us grow up seeking satisfaction through visual & tactile stimulants. So we often fail to learn how to “feel” satisfied. We associate satisfaction with being seen in the eyes of others as being content and achieved.
I think that satisfaction is a state of mind, more of a calm and worry free state of mind.
Of course I have some concerns, as I think we are all driven by fear of missing out (FOMO) and I am no different, as I may never achieve my goals but I am enjoying the journey and not letting peer pressure get to me. So hard to use the word regret yet. For example if I was to become a parent now I don’t think I would regret I didn’t do it earlier, because I have learned so much up to now. So, before I die I could more accurately let you know.
As I’ve got older I’ve learnt to be happy with what I have, rather than waste my life wishing for that elusive something else that will make everything perfect.
I gradually realised that happiness was in the moments we have and the memories we make, not in possessions or ‘things’.
It took some internal reflection and realising that a bigger house or new car would not change my life, it wouldn’t take away the things that troubled me nor would it provide the things that made me happy.
I was a terrible shopaholic in my 20’s. It stopped when we had children. That’s when I started to realise that despite not having the money to buy petty luxuries, I was no less happy than before.

I am satisfied however the only thing that I feel strongly dissatisfied about is Accessibility.
For a while there, I wasn’t satisfied at all. Depression can be an ugly state of mind.
I am happy to report that life has never been better. Found a proper career path, married to a supportive wife who recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and I am more connected with my family than ever.
Satisfaction in life is up to you. The real question is, “How hard are you willing to work to attain it?”
Everything. I seriously love everything about my life. Nothing is perfect. My life has its own seasons but overall i love it.

At times I thought I wasn’t satisfied, I looked at what I didn’t have. Not material wise but how I didn’t make it as a wife, don’t have that loving and supportive partner/husband. But then I look at everything else I have and ye know, I’ve a lovely home, a decent motor, clean clothes, delicious good, two amazing kids, both of my parents still and a very few select good friends. Life could be well worse
yes. i’ve got my friends around me and I have every second of the day to read write make music and money. Even though I’m detained and havent left the unit for six weeks I’ve just got the internet and Im enjoying myself. I’m honestly really happy. But I think due to lack of sleep I’m a bit manic and I’m on pregabalin tramadol and clonazepam. So its prob a false optomism.
I’m pretty nihilistic, grumpy, aloof with most people I meet. Misanthropic in general, I have a few close friends that I love and they bring out the good in me and give me joy. Probably about 10 people I’ve ever met I can say I truly love/like. I can tell if I like someone in seconds, I find people fascinating
Depends on the day you ask me. Lol.
I’m satisfied. Of course, there are times when I think of things that may or may not make my life more satisfying – but too much of that type of thinking tends to take focus away from the things that make my life great. You know, the often overlooked things or the things we often take for granted.
Great question. Thought-provoking, for sure.
Much Love.

Thank you for taking your time to answer! If we think about it, the things we overlook are actually the things that make our life satisfying because those are signs of what we have accomplished.
What about today? 🙂
Fairly satisfied, but always trying to make it better. Step by step day by day.
How would a better life look like for you?
So many plans. Need more beauty love happiness. Need to help more people. But I believe it will all happen🐞
I’m improving my life. So it’s gone from unsatisfactory to a work in progress! Much improved.
Awesome! What’s the difference between the life you have right now and the one you used to have?

Yes, who knows? I guess it’s all about what you want in your life.

Thank you very much!
Very satisfied: a have a cosy flat, I am not starving, I can afford a few trips abroad per year, I have good friends and there’s nothing more I could really ask for 🙂
Forgot to add that I also have a well paid job 🙂
That is awesome! Congratulations! Not many can say there’s nothing more they could really ask for 🙂
Very much satisfied. It’s the only one I’ve got 😬
That’s true! I’m glad it is! 😀
I strongly believe that satisfaction runs linear with time. It’s never stationary. With that being said, as long as I am free mentally and physically independent, I am satisfied.
Awesome approach! Was this always your opinion?
Absolutely not 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂(sadly)

💯 cause I understand that’s me who creating it. 😊
Awesomeness! 😀
I’ve never wanted to peak too early so have patiently worked my way to 59 with many of my goals yet to be fulfilled. Slowly and carefully is my motto.
Nice! Do you have any regrets regarding the way your life went so far?
Of course I have some concerns, as I think we are all driven by fear of missing out (FOMO) and I am no different, as I may never achieve my goals but I am enjoying the journey and not letting peer pressure get to me.

Yes
The best!
Regarding blogging life … Utterly Disappointed and Dissatisfied….. “Not our conversations”…
What is so disappointing about blogging life?
That I can’t wait to see the best results and conversations
I am satisfed and improving day by day
Awesome! That’s the only way to evolve 🙂
As I’ve got older I’ve learnt to be happy with what I have, rather than waste my life wishing for that elusive something else that will make everything perfect.
What brought you to this conclusion?
I gradually realised that happiness was in the moments we have and the memories we make, not in possessions or ‘things’.
It took some internal reflection and realising that a bigger house or new car would not change my life, it wouldn’t take away the things that troubled me nor would it provide the things that made me happy.

I am satisfied however the only thing that I feel strongly dissatisfied about is Accessibility.
What would you like to be different regarding this?
Better understanding and that disabled people shouldn’t have to fight for what they equally have a right to
80%
What do those 20% contain?
For a while there, I wasn’t satisfied at all. Depression can be an ugly state of mind.
I am happy to report that life has never been better. Found a proper career path, married to a supportive wife who recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and I am more connected with my family than ever.
Satisfaction in life is up to you. The real question is, “How hard are you willing to work to attain it?”
Congratulations for finding what’s good for you! What determined you to do it and what actions did you take to get here?
YUPPP!!
Awesome! What do you love the most about your life?
Everything. I seriously love everything about my life. Nothing is perfect. My life has its own seasons but overall i love it.
At times I thought I wasn’t satisfied, I looked at what I didn’t have. Not material wise but how I didn’t make it as a wife, don’t have that loving and supportive partner/husband.

I think life can always be worse. What determined you to switch your view from what you didn’t have to what you did have?
Can’t Complain:)
Awesome! 🙂
yes. i’ve got my friends around me and I have every second of the day to read write make music and money.

What’s the difference between “regular you” and you with “false optimism”?
I’m pretty nihilistic, grumpy, aloof with most people I meet. Misanthropic in general, I have a few close friends that I love and they bring out the good in me and give me joy. Probably about 10 people I’ve ever met I can say I truly love/like. I can tell if I like someone in seconds, I find people fascinating
People are indeed fascinating. How often do you meet with your close friends?
every day. I’m in a forensic unit so I have lads of the same age near me. I go out on leave every day and meet up with a friend or two.
