I have ambition, so no. I'm happy now but I'm still being ambitious in life.

I'm with ewenm - I'm exactly the same.

I should though be much more grateful for what I do have. I don't stop and think just how lucky I am sometimes.

Edited twice 'cos I'm a numpty.

Some people will never be content with their lot, no matter what their lot is.

Is that a bad thing or a good thing?

I guess it depends whether what you aren't happy with is something you have the power to change.

I hate my Job, I hate the fact I can't afford my own house, I hate the fact that I'm single, I hate the fact that my friends earn more than me, I hate the way I can't afford to go on Holiday this year, I hate the fact that my car has Dents in it from selfish s.



Over-all I'd say I'm not bad.

Being content with your lot AND striving for something better are not mutually exclusive.

Anyway, people who constantly moan about their circumstances and believe themselves to be somehow 'entitled' to a better quality of life get right on my plums.

YEs, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like more. I'd like to have a bit more spending money, or free time, girlfriend etc. But I generally do alright.
