Contentment is the balance
Contentment is the balance, not the end of a better life
Being content doesn't mean being without any further dreams goals and ambitions. It just means accepting and being satisfied with who you are and what you have. Then from what you have and who you are you can now build more on it - you can start to add on it.
Being content is not about not having dreams, being content is not about not having any ambitions or any achievements you aim to achieve in the near future. Being content simply means you accept who you are, you accept who you are and you are fine with it. It means you are satisfied with what you have.
And when you are at that contentless, then you can start admiring for more. Admiration for more does not mean you are discontent. Discontent means discomfort about who you are, discomfort about what you have.
That is discontent. When you are no longer comfortable with it, that is discontent. But when you are still comfortable with what you have and who you are and you are satisfied and you accept it, then you are content.
And on top of that, you can now add more, you can desire to add more. Desiring to add more means to increase value in yourself, in who you are. It means desiring to have more material things, to have more friends, to have more things than you already have.
That does not change who you are. So you can be content about who you are and satisfied with what you have and yet still want more and still dream for more. You can still dream for a better life.
You can still dream for a better life, even in your content. Your contentless should not shut down your dreams. Being content should not shut down your dreams.
There is much more to you. Just because you say you are content does not mean that you should stop dreaming and aiming for better and aiming for more. There is more you can still achieve.
There is more you can still do in this life. You can totally be content with who you are. You can totally be satisfied and content.
It is not greed to want more. It is not greed to want more. You are just realizing that there is more you can do.
There is more potential. There are gifts that are still unexplored. When you are exploring your gifts, it is not discontentment, it is not greed.
You can add value to who you are. You can add value to what you have by manifesting your potential. Don't stop at just what you are and where you are.
You can still improve your life by just manifesting the gifts you have. You don't need to stop right where you are. There is more to you than just this.
