Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

When a person goes through a lot of pain, hardships, and hurt and continue to do so they have a thirst for life that others do not have!. For example, survivors of any catastrophe or circumstances beyond their control have learned to sympathize and comfort others who have gone through the same!. The truth is when people are able to attain what they want and then as soon as they have it they are not satisfied!. The acceptance they need has to come from within!. Be happy with the present at all times!. The present itself is a gift!. Hope this helps!. Appreciate and want what you already have!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it is possible to be happy with what you have, yet still strive for more!. I don't mean "more" in the material sense of buying more crap, but in the sense of improving yourself, or learning more, or meeting new and interesting people!. For example, I'm a better person now than I was five years ago--I've learned more, my relationships are deeper, etc!.--but I was still happy with what I had five years ago!.

I think if you reach a point in your life where you say "well, that's enough" you will quickly get bored!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. I don't want any thing but I do want life experiences!. Instead of buying stuff I spend my money on classes and experiences!. I own practically nothing but it feels good to know I can up and leave and never worry about my "stuff" because even if I lost it all it wouldn't matter!.
Plus I save lots of money and am worth more than people who make five times more than me because of my lack of spending habits!.

I try to live like a true Taoist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Know what is important in your life!. Then decide if it's the right thing to do in never changing it at all!. Happiness is only supposed to last for a little while!. Too much of a good thing will kill you!. To be too happy would mean I would never improve in self, career, or general goals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have very little but because of my positivity I make the most of it!.
I always try to change a negative thought into a positive one, that meaning the difference between bad or good quality of life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have to have a different perspective on your life!. Don't live in society's fast pace race to nowhere, it's just training yourself to understand what you have!.
Or you can smoke pot that tends to make people pretty content!.!.!.hahaWww@QuestionHome@Com
