If you don't plan your life out a bit then you will end up with it passing you by. The more you plan it out the more sod's law kicks in and pees on your bonfire. Take your pick :D

Am I content with my lot?

A resounding yes.

Luck played a little part, in that I think I had good parents and a great upbringing. The rest of the cards life dealt me, I think I played well...and am magnanimous as a a winner.:D

Hey kitty, thanks for the thread. I think "tadah" was a bit harsh on you. Feeling sorry for oneself or just reaching out for answers, IMO that's what we're all suppposed to be here for eh?

Overall, I find myself very content with life.

Do I have ups and downs, much more than I'd like.

I believe aging definitely has an impact on one being content!

Be content with what you have. Like Granny says there is always somebody worse off.
My Dad was always using the saying " What you have never had you never miss."
Don't take what you do have for granted.

I is never to late to change things, never wait for circumstances to allow you to do it, do no not become an 'if only' person (if only I had done that) or a 'nearly person' (I was giong to do or nearly did that.) As Kipling wrote in his verse.'IF' "If you can meet with triumph and disaster and recognise them for the imposters that they are" there is no difference between success and failure, it is good health and happiness that count in life.

Hear,hear!
Although surely being Healthy and Happy comes from being successful?just in a different way than what springs to mind when we say the word 'successful'?(when i asked my friends they said climbing the social and career ladder was the first thing they thought of).
Keeping jack healthy and happy surely means i am being a successful parent?

Re: Are you content?
 

Successful in what context? To achieve what you set out to do makes you successful, that may be living off teh land or ruinning a multinational conglomerate, each to their own but equally successful.

I guess if you reach a platform where you no longer feel the need to strive for anything more[1] then you should consider yourself content and successful. Life is only what you want from it. anymore is a pure bonus


[1] that doesn't mean if it comes knocking you should turn it away!

Although I am happy with everything I have in life, I wouldn't say that I am content. There is always something I want that seems just out of reach - but as soon as I actually achieve/reach my goal, I want something else!

You don't sound like you're feeling sorry for yourself to me, it sounds like you are making positive decisions to get more out of your life - and there's nothing wrong with that. Content sounds a bit boring to me!!!
