    The secret to happiness is contentment.   More is not always better.

    Being content is a result of what Shuhak? Appreciating and valuing what you have. Or is it the other way around?. Being content is the cause of your appreciating/valuing what you have? Thank you for your reply.

    Actually, it's both.  Happiness comes from contentment.  Contentment comes from being happy.  Understanding this is the key to life.  Without that key, we’re doomed to flitter our lives away in misery; desperately trying to grab hold of something that keeps eluding our grasp.
