Discontentment Is A Disease
- Many of us feel something is missing, and are unable to find satisfaction with our lives.
- Even people who apparently have everything, a great house, a loving family and every imaginable comfort are discontent.
- We can help ourselves feel better by changing our attitude and perspective, taking affirmative action, or by finding meaning in our lives.

Changing Oneās Attitude And Perspective
We can change how we look at things, by these obvious but important methods:
- Appreciating what we have, paying gratitude for what is there already in our lives.
- Trying to find something good in everything that happens, good or bad.
- Believing in yourself that you can make things better.
- Enjoying every moment of life, experiencing joy in every mundane activity.

Taking Positive Action
Affirmative action, even if it is little, is a great start.
- Even a little exercise every day, a walk or stretching exercises, can help us feel awesome.
- Decluttering of even a small corner of your room or a tabletop can make you feel great.
- Waking up early and meditating is a great way to get better mentally.

Finding Meaning
We are not satisfied with life because mindless consumerism and transaction-based relationships do not provide us with meaning. We can change that by:
- Spending time with our family and friends, listening to what they say.
- Volunteer for anything that is your liking, as giving time, energy or resources is a worthwhile effort.
- Create something by writing, drawing, playing music, building something or designing.
- Make others happy by helping out, or make someoneās day by buying them gifts.
