When we talk of contentment in your life what exactly are we saying or thinking ?, are we just saying be content as you see life or be content with yourself ( soul and body ).
First let us get a definition. From a dictionary contentment is defined as "a state of happiness and satisfaction", quite simple right.
Now the question I want to ask is that can you say truthfully that the definition above is your life. Do you wake up everyday and happily go to work or it has become a normal routine. Are you studying your dream course or you are just managing the one you were given.

How are you? a very simple question but also a powerful one. Have you honestly answered this question when asked by a friend or you just gave a simple "fine" as you normally do.
Have you asked your friend the question above in a serious way or in a flippant way. There are so many questions to ask but let me ask the most important one.

Are you really content with your life?

Well if you aren't you need to take this quote seriously - "Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content with what you have - Mortman".

If you are willing to turn your life into a satisfactory one, I have some pointers that might be of help.

*Make peace with your religious beliefs. You might not know it but it plays a serious role in your life.

*Show humility because being humble is a fast ticket to happiness.

*Simplify life. We all worry at some point of our life due to different problems which is normal but sometimes we over worry ourselves our things we even cannot change and most times we put ourselves into those same situation that cause us to worry when you don't even have to be there. Know this, very few things in life are a real crisis.

*Be bold. Regret has plagued a lot of people's mind or the phrase "had I known". Please try to remove those words from your life.

*Make room for quite. For those of us that like to live loud and boisterous live, always make a little time for that quite, that can even be when you are jogging or bathing but do that so that you can reflect on how your life had been and if you are really content.

*Devote time to improve your relationship with families and friends which I am 100% sure will bring contentment to your life.

*Develop a sense of purpose.
