In a way content does = happiness

This is a complete contradiction to my blog post that content does not = happiness.


I don't know how to explain it, but in a way, I think content can.


It's a balance of: you can't hate yourself, but you can still be humble and recognize that some people have/do things better than you, but that does not make them or you worse/better than one another.


It only can't, if you're not able to make peace with who you are, figure out what you like, and go towards being that person.


You have to make peace with every little thing that goes in the way of your happiness in order to be happy.


And in order to do that, you might have to change your mindset. Actually it is likely that you will, because otherwise, you wouldn't've felt that way in the first place.


And maybe that's what being content truly means. And if it does, I don't see how it's different from happiness.


Maybe becoming content is just the tool, and work you have to put in, in order to be happy.


I don't know if everyone needs to do work. Or change their mindset. But at least that has been the way for me. Maybe I'm just mentally ill and that's why I've had to come up with this. Maybe it's a way to rationalize emotion. But hey, it works. At least I'm doing good.
