We should be content with what life gives us.
Contentment is the key to a happy life. If we are happy with what we have, we tend to have an optimistic approach towards life with less worries and less guilt. Anything that happens, happens for good. We might not understand the purpose of a situation at that moment but we always learn something from it for future and it proves out to be beneficial in the long run. We should never yearn for what others have but ponder upon what we have and others don’t. If we want something very badly, we should make efforts to achieve it and not just keep day dreaming about the happiness of owning it. Everything we get is a result of our efforts.
