Satisfied life is better than successful life

Satisfied life is better than successful life. Because our success is measured by others, but our satisfaction is measured by our own soulmate, mind, and heart.

“The art of contentment is the recognition that the most satisfying and the most dependably refreshing experiences of life lie not in great things but in little. The rarity of happiness among those who achieved much is evidence that achievement is not in itself the assurance of a happy life. The great, like the humble, may have to find their satisfaction in the same plain things. 

“He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing. Epicurus

“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less. G.K. Chesterton

“Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital. Dalai Lama

“What does not satisfy when we find it, was not the thing we were desiring. C.S. Lewis

“Many have too much, but none enough. Anonymous

“Little minds find satisfaction for their feelings, good or bad, in little things. Honoré de Balzac

“Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.  Linus Pauling

The art of being happy

The art of being happy is to be satisfied with what you have.

“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”Stacey Charter

“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”Winnie the Pooh

“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.”Epictetus

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

Frederick Keonig

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”Thich Nhat Hanh

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”Eskimo Proverb
