How many of you are satisfiend with your life?? A satisfying life to me would be a great partner. A job where you make enough to support your family...having children, friends around you and so on. I'm not saying life should be perfect because that would be impossible. There would always be some sort of worries BUT don't you think life is an on-going process of struggling for happiness?

Many of you here working and married with kids....do you think you want more out of life or is this it?

Now, I do know that life is like a running race...you gotta keep running and the competition is tough! But when do you win? According to some psychologists when you reach the stage of "Self Actualization" you reach the top and become very satisfied with your life. But I've never met anyone like that yet. So I would like know your views and thoughts.

hmmm I'm sorry peeps if the question seemed long. I tried to make it as simple as possible. The real question is how satisfied are you with your life....and the rest of the text is just some thoughts that came along the question.

I would say 9.5 (10 being very happy).

I have a job to support myself and wife. I can always go for more, that's part of human nature when it comes to money. I have no kids yet. Life partner is great. I am healthy. No other stress. So yes, I am very happy.

Hate it.

I wish I could rewind just a year and change myself maybe be a lil more productive but other than that I feel fine about it. Need a job, need to go back to school, need a man, and thats it!

So far Mr. Shikra seems very satisfied out of all of us here. I hope it stays like that for him

yes as I mentioned earlier, that stage of life is called "Self-Actualization."

85% on a normal day

Alhamdulillah though. Thank God for both the good and the bad.







it's the heart afraid of dying, that never learns to dance; It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance; It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give; And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live.
