When you are SATISFIED, you feel HAPPY, so why not be satisfied with what you HOLD, NEED, HAVE DONE and ARE DOING, so you could be happy so many times in your life even BEFORE you get what you want ( succeed your goals ) ?! However, there will be sometimes when THE WORST THING TO BE IS SATISFIED.
1)Satisfaction with WHAT YOU HOLD and NEED.
It's not that you must feel that way, it's just because why not be satisfied when you can; everything has advantages, therefore why not focus and use these positive sides for our benefit, which will lead us to appreciate by what we have and so be satisfied of them. Whatever you have even if it caused you so much trouble in life as poverty, health problem, family problem, ....etc, believe or even try to acknowledge that you obtain advantages for what you have. As far as what you have seems to you a disadvantage, nothing is perfect also, nothing is completely full of disadvantages neither advantages. Although some things you hold might have disadvantages more than advantages ( which depends on your opinion and how does they affect you), focusing on the positive sides is more useful than being always affected negatively while ignoring the positive sides even if it was only one. In the end 1 is bigger than -99...... At least when you gain one advantage against dozen of disadvantages is better than not gaining any advantage. Moreover, you should try to be satisfied of what you're suppose to need for at least 2 reasons. First, no one is born having all the fortunes of life, therefore you need good things but you still have other good things, that might have never been with you if you obtained what you need from the start, no matter how much that sounds better than needing what you don't have, you haven't been given the option to choose what you want to have and what you want to need, so there's no point thinking which is better : having what you hold and needing what you require or the opposite thing around. Second, as I mentioned, everything holds positive points and negative points, so lacking what you don't have holds positive points too, you just need to look deeply with the believe that you will find it to capture( use ) it ALIVE ( not after it's too late ). In conclusion try to feel positive while you still can with what you have and what you need, instead of feeling bad since you that won't change unless having what you is a goal you truly desire even though you will have to give up sth.
2) SATISFACTION with what you have done
What have you done can be divided into two sections either positively affective steps (actions, decisions, choices) or the negatively affective ones ( actions, decisions, and choices) . Firstly, about the positively affective steps, which I mean the ones that caused positive side on you whatever how much negatively it affected you, as long as the positive side was really worth the negative ones. Obviously, that will make you satisfied since it gained you positive worthy results, even if you sacrificed a lot or you have been affected negatively, as long as you believe without any doubt that those steps were the ones you wanted and value more than what they took from you to obtain. Not meaning that the negative results of such steps are easy to handle, forget, or ignore, they might accompany you forever and you might feel bad about the steps you took, but you still shouldn't make those feelings ( bad, sad, upset, shame) blind you from the happiness of gaining the positive results you obtained that was WORTH all that. In other words face those bad feelings with being satisfied. Secondly, the negatively affective steps you took, which haven't lead you to the results you wanted or expected. Surely in this situation being satisfied is the last thing you should feel, since the steps you have taken caused you to be sad, upset, shame, disappointed, regret, or even despair. However because the negatively sides are hard to handle, ignore, or forget, what you should do is to DO STH ABOUT THEM; if your feeling like that because you have lost or hurt someone , then try to make up for that person. EASIER SAID THAN DONE, huh , I understand that, some wounds won't disappear no matter how much you try to heal them, some people are too broken apart to be joined like before, and some memories can't be erased no matter how much good memories you make, BUT leaving a marked wound is BETTER than an opened wound without any healings, trying to rebuild the bonds with people by following other ways that isn't like before is WORTH it , and making new memories even if the past ones won't be gone will still be VALUABLE. Trying your hardest to make up for your mistakes or even sins isn't too late, at least when you try, you can feel a bit satisfied. Don't let those horrible results of your negatively affective steps trap you in the past blinding the hope of getting free ( feel satisfied) by making up for what you have done which won't be easy at all but will be BETTER, VALUABLE, and WORTH trying.
3) SATISFACTION with what you are doing
STOP RIGHT THERE if you are taking steps you know won't make you satisfied. Don't let yourself be driven by anything toward steps you believe won't make you satisfied. If you're working a job you dislike and would prefer changing, then try your hardest to find the job you want so you could retire. If you are being forced to abandon your truly desired goals, then FIGHT against the people or circumstances blocking your path using the way you want with less injuries. If you are friends, partners, lovers with someone you regret choosing, then BREAK IT OFF in the most suitable way. If you aren't pursuing your truly desired goals, then CONTROL whatever is holding you back. Don't let yourself be unsatisfied with what is happening, try to REBELL against all obstacles to do, be, and have what you really desire. Even if it seems too late, impossible, or hard, you got work hard to pursue your goals because, it's never too late unless you are dead, it isn't impossible if you haven't tried your best, and it's totally worth all the hardships you will go through. Believe me, even of you died before accomplishing your goals, you will leave the world being satisfied that you KEPT TRYING, DIDN'T STOP, and DID'T LOSE HOPE on yourself. YOU BELIEVED YOU DO IT. STAYED STRONG. NO REGRETS.
PS: I am still trying myself to conquer my flaws in order to succeed my ambitions ( to be satisfied with what I am doing), even though I keep failing, I am still trying without losing hope on myself.
