Nobody has a perfect life. Even if you were a millionaire, you still wanted something else. When you get those things that you think will make you happy, you realize that the happiness doesn't stay for long.

To live a fulfilled life, you have to focus more on your attitude than you concentrate on things. The way you see yourself either in the middle of troubles or when everything goes fine will determine the level of your happiness.

If you look only to the things you don't have yet, you will be in a wrong competition. It's good to desire right things and to find solutions to get them, but if your eyes are only on what you do not have your life will be miserable.

Regardless your situation, find something to be grateful for. If you are able to read this message, it means that you can read and you have a device: a laptop, tablet or smartphone, things that many people on this earth do not have.

Not everyone has access to a good education. There are so many uneducated people because they do not afford to pay for their studies. There are people who are starving because they do not have enough food. Some are wearing the same clothes for an extended period because they don't have money to buy a new one.

Even if you do not have everything you want, you still have almost everything you need. Just think for a moment at what you have, and you will discover so many reasons to be grateful for.

You have more than the necessary things like food, water, and cloths. You have a place to live, more comfortable than others. You are educated and have access to the technology. You might have a family and friends. You are healthy and able to do many things.

Don't complain anymore about the things you don't have. These things can't make you happy for a long time. Start focus on what you have and be grateful for it. See yourself as a blessed person, as someone who got more than he deserves.

The life is good when you have the right attitude!

Very well said, be grateful and contented of the things that we have.. Good attitude would last for a lifetime :)

I like your perspective, I think so many people chase things they think will make them happy and then when they get it they are left feeling empty.
