      Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let's face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life, we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.   36

       37   Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.

      When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner.    38    so work to stay present and be mindful of the cur- rent moment to find more joy and fulfillment.

      When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life ,we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others. but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position.   39

When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you.    40   Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment .Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the go and distracted by ambitions.

     Practice looking at life through the lens(镜头)  of contentment and it will become more natural.
