To say you are satisfied with your life implies that you are not visionary, not purposeful, not creative and you lack aspirations.

This doesn't mean you have to be greedy, wanton or covetous but everyone must understand that as humans we are limitless, boundless and the worlds possibilities are endless.

So, I am not satisfied yet but I am grateful for my life.

What actually makes life interesting is the anticipation of the next success you're going to achieve. If there is nothing to look forward to then, life looses it's meaning. I'll say I'm happy with my life but there is always room for more success/achievements so I won't say I've reached the last 'bus stop'.

HIS Purpose for you is in HIS Word! Seek it & you will find it!

And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. - Isaiah 58:11

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. - Joel 2:26

A land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills, When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. - Deuteronomy 8:9-10

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. - Psalm 107:9

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. - Psalm 34:10

The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him-- may your hearts live forever! - Psalm 22:26

Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. - Psalm 103:5

I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food. - Psalm 132:15

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. - Jeremiah 31:25

I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. - Psalm 81:10

They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. - Isaiah 49:10

They are the ones who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. Their bread will be supplied, and water will not fail them. - Isaiah 33:16

Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. - Isaiah 65:13

No. But considering where I might have been I am not overly disappointed with how things have turned out and I achieved two of my childhood dreams this year. So it's been a good year.

Even the dead ain't satisfied, why would a determined and optimistic living being be?
As long as one breathes, God has a purpose of still keeping he/she alive, and until that aim is accomplished, one DAREN'T say he/she IS SATISFIED.

You people dont get it,when i said satisfied with the life your living,i didnt mean money or achievements,as nigerians thats the only thing we think of,i meant morally,your relationship with ur family,strangers,how u treat others,happiness,contentment for being alive etc. Thats what i meant,all of you shouting money money money,you think thats what matters most in life? I call it the nigerian mentality,and that is why as a people we are stagnant!

I disagree with the bolded though. Some people are truly contented and happy with what they have, little be it or much.
Having modest aspirations does not classify you a failure in life. Success is a very relative word.

Your main purpose is TO BE in the present moment. This is why you were born in the first place.

I agree with you 100%.

Nigerians will get rid of the mentality by the time severe poverty will not be seen everywhere.

There's more to God's purpose than being where u ar presently.

Purpose is what u do (enjoy doing) that is beneficial to people around and glorify God.

The purpose of food:

It keeps living beings alive.
It keeps living beings healthy.
It gives living beings pleasure.

What's wrong with it?

My purpose in the present moment is to reply to your comment and in the next moment to continue relaxing by watching a movie. wink
