Discontentment Is A Disease

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 One’s Attitude And Perspective

We can change how we look at things, by these obvious but important methods:

  1. Appreciating what we have, paying gratitude for what is there already in our lives.
  2. Trying to find something good in everything that happens, good or bad.
  3. Believing in yourself that you can make things better.
  4. 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.

  1. Even a little exercise every day, a walk or stretching exercises, can help us feel awesome.
  2. Decluttering of even a small corner of your room or a tabletop can make you feel great.
  3. 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:

  1. Spending time with our family and friends, listening to what they say.
  2. Volunteer for anything that is your liking, as giving time, energy or resources is a worthwhile effort.
  3. Create something by writing, drawing, playing music, building something or designing.
  4. Make others happy by helping out, or make someone’s day by buying them gifts.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
