Contentment **March 24, 2022** ***True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.-Oscar Wilde*** Do you still pursuit the impossible? Are you still eager on getting that thing you want amidst being broke? I had the chance to go outside and have some lunch with my co-worker and while waiting for our food I heard the other table are talking about these. The young girl answer that nothing is impossible if you believe in miracles. Do people still believe in miracles these days? Then I told myself? Am I pursuing something impossible too? yes I guess, my freedom..lol!!! *Contentment is* ***the state of being happy and satisfied****.*

As I have observed with the new generation today, youngsters often are not satisfied especially if their gadgets are not yet updated and they would ask their parents for a new one even though the current gadget they're using is just a year behind the new trend. Some also would buy clothes even though they have a lot on their closet, yet they're still complaining on their due dates. I am one of those being guilty over these matters for I love tees so much that I can't control myself not buying if I saw something that would caught my eyes. You can buy a lot of things but you can't even get to help the financial crisis of the family. You always say that you've work hard for it so you must reward yourself with the things that you love to buy. I am also guilty over this matter most of the time. I am unreasonable sometimes that it became a habit. I saw a lot of people posting about their success and I am really happy for them especially if I know where they have come and they really did get to where they are now because they work hard for it. And then they will say that they are contented. I once asked Mum what are the things that she felt contented with and she told me that being healthy and getting to eat three times a day is already okay for her. She don't value luxury of material things. Being contented by the life given to you is good but you also want to buy the things you want to that you worked hard for it and that is what we called satisfaction. I actually don't make sense in anything I said. This just came to mind while I was in a zoom meeting with my friends in the community. Both of them are in their Forties already and they both singles also. They decided to resign this year because they're tired and they want to enjoy life while they still can with no support at all. Then I asked them how about their families whom are depending on them. And they told me that they supported them for to long. And it's also time for them to value their own selves although they are contented on what they have achieved as of the moment. I just derived my thoughts on that. I would like to thank my beb @Sequoia for the sponsorship renewal...thanks so much beb...wabyuuuuuuu Thank you for reading @mommykim

Totoo yan sis ,maraming kabataan ngayon yung hindi nakokontento sa meron sila ,just like my husband's nephew dahil nakita niya bagong phond ng classmate niya ay ayun nagpabili nanaman ng bagong phone kahit hindi pa nag 1year yung phone niya.
kaya ako ine engganyo ko talaga mga bata sa bahay na mag outdoor activities kesa sa mag gadgets
Dami ko kilala na ganito. Ako nmn kung pra sa self ko lng..kontento na ako sa ano meron ako. Kaso..alam mo na madam. Dami sabit. Lol
hahahah etong mga sabit talaga eh
I also felt envy when I saw my batch mates being successful in life while I am just here, taking care of my baby and unemployed. Lol. Pero modako rman pod ni ahong baby. Makatrabaho rako puhon.
successful man pud ka mamsh...not the same as them but you success on being a mom...taking care of a child takes a lot of work and you fulfilled it so your a successful mom...
The only thing that all human beings need. It will release the over thinking from head and we will feel happiness.
that is when we feel the satisfaction that we want
Huhu dami akong kilala na ganito mommykim. Yung iba bili lang ng bili pero yung family nila di man lang mabilhan. Life nila yan mommykim. Ako mommy i-balance ko lang kasi prioritize ko talaga ngayon family ko. Pag kailangan bibili ako.
ako bumibili ako para sa sarili ko beb pero binibilhan ko rin family ko para fair
Oo mommykim dapat ganyan talaga yung iba kasi bili ng bili sa sarili nila pero yung family nila di man lang binilhan.
That is being brave of them. I cannot say that to my family. All my life I am very supportive of them an si think for the rest of my life too. It all boils down from being contented with what you have and I admire those people
well,, there are people whose willing to do everything just to get what they want..
Yung iba Kilala ganto Yung ugali yung tipong Wala Silang pinangalingan at yung dapat suklian sa kung ano Ang katayun nila ngayon, kaya ako balancing ginagawa ko sa buhay ko ieh Kasi mas better Yun kesa sa mag damot.
buti sana kung ganyan din mindset nang mas karamihan satin...
Tapos momsh karamihan sa mga kabataan ngayon nagagawa pa magsinungaling sa parents nila na kwsyo may babayaran ganito ganyan, yu. Pala para sa barkada.

Kapag kontemgo is magiging masaya ka. Yan lang ang susi sa masayang buhay
yan talaga sana mommy
This is so true. There will be no happiness if you're not content with what you have. Having the things you need are enough already to make your life full and lively. I don't understand why people are not content with everything that they already have. What about those people who also need the things they have but can't afford to buy but they're still happy with life? If we all just value contentment, there shouldn't be corruption in the government, greed among people, and no more fooling of other people just to get what they want.
because there are these people who strive to achieve something even if it means overlapping on other people
very true mommykim. I think there's nothing wrong to become so ambitious but what makes it worse is if you're already stepping on to others. It should not be like that.
stepping other people is the worst
inner satisfaction becomes the last point when someone let go of what he is doing means satisfaction lies in the happiness of the heart and feelings, you will not stop doing if you are not satisfied and this is the reality. satisfaction is happiness that is endless and will come back after it is gone.
it means one person is not contented of what they already achieve because they want more
Ako Noonabelsssssss, satisfied na ako s alahat ee. Kontento na ako sa buhay ko ngayon kaya siguro di ako ganong nagpupush to work hard. May dreams pa naman din ako kaso di ako nagmamadali na maabot sya. Chill lang ganorn hahaha. Awan basta ganern haha
lah sanaol chill lang....hanap ka na kasi nang afam
hmmm actually with regards to helping our family, those two have some point. Yes we have to help our family but we also need to look after ourselves. there is no right or wrong until when we are going to support them. :)
noted on this maam....misyowww nahihiya nako mag message hahaha
I think contentment comes with age, just like wisdom. Yung maappreciate natin yung mga simpleng bagay-bagay and experiences sa buhay.
ay true din yan madam...
