Definitely enjoy your life it's rewarding

and if you can’t be with the one you love, honey, love the one your with

I choose to be happy instead of focusing on what I don't have. My kids love and respect me, my grands are healthy and thriving. I have enough to pay my bills, some luxuries, and some savings. I have my hobbies and my circle of friends. Yes, my car is 15 years old, but it's paid for and running fine. No I don't have a huge flat screen TV, but I don't want one. I don't watch TV, and that might be why I am content. I think TV advertising is designed to make you want to spend money you don't have. I have a job where I am treated with respect and that pays pretty well. I have outlived my own mother by 19 years, and have now lived almost 50 years without her. She never met any of her grandchildren. I don't have a significant other, but I'm not sure how I would find time for one, although if the right person shows up I will seriously consider how to manage that. All things considered I am doing quite well.

Perhaps, but then I think that it's important to have dreams. I'm a fan of bhuddist and Kabat-zin's idea of accepting where you are, but I don't think that means we shouldn't strive for something better for ourselves or the world around us. Not as criticism because we are all similar, but even you, your behaviour is not that of someone who is not yearning for what you feel is missing as although you say you're happy being single, your continuous search for a partner is incongruent with that. Although you acknowledge happiness with one condition you search for better and act as if you may be happier in different circumstances. Isn't that conceptually the same as yearning towards what you feel is missing?
It's easy for someone who is dying to say, be happy with what you have, but maybe that is the first step to dying peacefully. I think I'd rather continue to yearn for better, and I think your behaviour shows you agree with me.

This is a perfect example of one of the core tenets of Stoicism: Amor Fati.

Well stated.

I'm not sure if the following proverb originated in ancient China: "The more you want the less you understand. The more you understand the less you want." From my observations I have seen little evidence that caused me to think that the ultra rich are happy or content with their lives.
