Do we have Life Satisfaction?

August 27, 2014

Our life is a single open book; a one-time affair. Everyone begins their life not as a game but with a stern decision, striving hard to make their life a happy one where negativity makes no room at that particular juncture. However, in the course of time when the means fails to keep life happy, dream shatters, negativity crops up in different forms and some end their life then and there itself. Here, once attitude becomes selfish, leading them to pour cold water on themselves. Therefore, if we are generous in our attitude, definitely we adjust our lives by whatever means that are at our disposal. Therefore, money should not be the criteria to keep one's life happy and floating. 

What is life satisfaction then? One example could be, have you heard recently it was a celebration of human spirit and indomitable courage to overcome all odds, seven differently-abled achievers from various walks of life were honoured with the Swabhiman Awards. The awards were instituted by Daijiworld Weekly to recognize the achievements of the differently-abled in society. Genuine mindset or motivation to give and receive life satisfaction is not a one-time affair but is an on-going process. Therefore, so far Swabhiman Awards were celebrated on two separate occasions for the happiness of all the awardees, society, chief guests and all the attendees. 


At the previous occasion, Fr Ivan Madtha accepting the award and addressing the gathering on behalf of all the awardees said that the people with disabilities are addressed to with different names. Some call them disabled, some call them specially-abled. But whatever these persons are called, the reality does not change. “We do not want change in name, what we want is change in attitude. We do not want sympathy, we want support." This voice of Fr Ivan Madtha should make us search our hearts; God's creations demand for acceptance and recognition. We have to help our neighbor or any needy. Thus by accepting and willing to help the needy we show our Beautiful Mind which itself is a prelude for life satisfaction. 

Assisting to build someone's life is a noble cause. It can be done in any form. I know, one couple recently from Abu Dhabi, took the initiative to make matches whenever they hear someone is seeking a marriage proposal. This service is out of their goodwill and a free act to acclaim some part of life satisfaction by their good deeds. We have observed, especially in the Middle East and in Qatar various cultural organizations spare no efforts to assist unfortunate ones back in their hometown or in India. It is a collective effort which derives them collective life satisfaction, resulting from the immense time, effort and sacrifice contributed to the cause. It is not a one-time event, but a continuous process all these years of carrying out this remarkable job through their founder members, past and present presidents ie, MCC, Mr. Norbert Corda, MCA, Mr. Arthur Pais, Tulu Koota, Mr. Ravi Shetty, Karnataka Sangha Qatar, Mr. Deepak Shetty and so on. Thanks for your contributions Sirs. You, all of you, have made some part of this universe a beautiful place to live in. 

The thought of doing a good deed might pop into our minds from time to time, but due to our busy lives, it might get pushed to the back burner more than we'd like. The truth is, most good deeds don't require the amount of time and organization we think they do. The opportunity to do a good deed pops up every day and can be as simple as holding the door for people behind you, especially if the person behind is carrying packages, bags or kids, volunteering for a charity, donating blood - a single blood donation can help up to 4 people, donating used clothes and house wares to charity, etc. Moreover, if you read any article and if you like it, appreciate it. It will take some of your good will to appreciate and to make others feel good. 

We need not imitate Mother Teresa in our lives but if we do good deeds, people will see Mother Teresa in us. There are many benefits of unselfish giving, that is, giving brings satisfaction, giving stimulates gratitude, giving attracts giving. I really admire the service of church ushers or temple/mosque volunteers who provide greater satisfaction to others and receive within them a self/ life satisfaction by their good deeds. Their names will be heard nowhere nor any awards will reach them. Such acts are good examples of good deeds and selfless service. If there is a will, most important is to pick a cause that's near and dear to our hearts and to donate our time to it, that's where life satisfaction is guaranteed on a day to day basis. 

We see there are DIFFICULT ways to achieve life satisfaction too; if someone is habitually or continuously craving for 3 Ws (wealth, wine, women) of course, it is an act of self-pleasure, and no amount of life can be satisfying to them in the real sense. If someone is an ‘I’ specialist and not a ‘we’ specialist, no amount ‘I’ will make his life happy for he is an egoist. If someone is a miser, nothing will bring satisfaction for he has not experienced happiness by giving, but only by receiving. An atheist may lead a good life by his philosophy of 'do good and avoid evil'. However, I have watched many, who, in their dying stages, have regretted not having led a wonderful life in belief in prayer and relationship with God.

Let us go one step further. A student can’t lead a happy life, if he keeps studies at bay. A family can’t lead a happy life, if any of the members is selfish. An employee may work very well in his company but if he is not paid well, he may not lead a happy life if he thinks that money is the only criteria to keep him happy. Some folks carry out great amount of charity works just as a subjective measure to fetch them some name and fame. Such people usually do not seek satisfaction in life but harbour an attitude seeking continues self-glory.

Recently I asked the same question, 'do you have life satisfaction' to the aged people. I got three kinds of answers.

A divorcee said, 'better if I had led a single life than a married one all my life, life was spent for the wrong ends. Life goes on now, with or without satisfaction, you may guess'.

Another said, 'our family life was an excellent one, led peacefully and happily but in the later stage we felt remorse over why we gave birth to such children. Now, in our old age children have become totally indifferent to us'.

Yet another family said, 'Yes, I thank God, we expected nothing great in life but God gave us everything, for we led a prayerful life and helped others with whatever we had'. 

Strangely enough, out of the three, none of them complained that their happiness was curtailed due to shortage of money. Therefore, money is not a factor which gives life satisfaction. 

Again, I put the same question, 'do you have life satisfaction' to priests and nuns. Their straight forward and spontaneous answer was a big ‘YES’, without an iota of hesitation. I could see there was real joyful fire in their answers. They were absolutely right. Every priest or nun does lead a happy life. The reason behind it mainly is that they have achieved it leading a prayerful life, selfless life of giving and not being selfish. Therefore, priesthood or life being a nun is a path to happiness because it so often brings them into contact with God’s grace. In prayer, through their community life, and especially when administering the sacraments, they are constantly surprised by this grace, whether they are of primary or even the secondary beneficiary. 

From the above, one can understand that life satisfaction is not the same as job satisfaction, academic satisfaction or professional satisfaction but are good desires, good deeds done for free without seeking any personal glory or any tags attached to it. To sum up in the words of Maxim Gorky, a Russian writer, "When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery" (Gorky, 1927, p.108). However, it is true that if we work sincerely in our profession, we are bound to achieve job satisfaction which might influence some sort of life satisfaction later.

To be frank, my thoughts were related to what is life satisfaction. Therefore, if we feel that we have a purpose in our life and what we do every day gives us satisfaction, then we are lucky. In case we feel something is missing from our life and our potential is unfulfilled, chances are there are many things which cause us to feel less than satisfied with where we are now. Everyone has a list of wishes not fulfilled but brooding over it means less chance of achieving life satisfaction. 

Life satisfaction does not come from money nor from material cravings. It comes from what we think, what we have, what we do and how we act on it. Yes, our means or time could be little to help others, but God sees the willing mind, open heart and a cheerful giver. Therefore, a sincere desire to serve others will walk up to God as a silent prayer; God is sure to bless him and his future generations; and is bound to fulfill those desires every moment of his life, which in itself becomes a direct answer to the question 'do we have life satisfaction'.

Dear Readers, thanks for spending some of your precious time going through this article. Let us stay Blessed.

    Hai John Sir, Thanks. As usual you are at your best. This inspiration about Life Satisfaction I derived from the 'Swabhiman Awards'. Please refer http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=242683.

    While recognizing and helping such disabilities of people continuously, don't we feel that we are doing something good in our life which is amounting to satisfaction life in the course of time ? This article stress only on that part of beauty that each one of us should develop. Thanks John let us meet some time soon.

    Prahbumaam,
    Thanks. I am glad to meet you after long time.

    Happy to share, you see, any Priest’s or nun’s attitude and approach towards life satisfaction is the happiness they draw from the good works they do in the community service. It is not an one -time affair but a lifelong commitment to God in the service of mankind.

    Further, the greatest joys priests receive in their life and work as a priest are helping others , giving the Sacrament, offering Mass, preaching, helping laity find spirituality/God/restoring faith and work for the betterment of the lives of others . This is the universal truth that found with every Priests in every religion in one form or other. Really I do not know, which priests you met. Common truth is that Most of Priests or Nuns have life satisfaction from the selfless service they lead for others lest they can leave the priesthood voluntarily instead of getting struck in the middle of the road Therefore, they tread a path where spirit and truth meet together in the joyful service of mankind.

    Yes dear Antony Sir, we can have No satisfaction in life IF WE
    Expect more and deliver less,
    Welcome only appreciations and get depressed by put downs,
    Feel jealousy of people who go ahead and blame/curse own limitations,
    Compare, compete and race to defeat others, who really are the fast runners,
    Have less faith/trust/hope and doubt/feel insecure more
    Neither move forward nor allow others to proceed,
    Fail to value our talents/resources/wealth which are free gifts of God,
    Only look at people who are around and ignore plenty behind and out of sight,
    Fail to live today by worrying about tomorrow (future)
    Struggle to have better and the best but ignore/neglect the good/essential,
    Are good speakers but bad performers
    Judge and convict others and think/consider that we are clean/perfect
    Do not know who we are and what our life goal is,
    Live like the permanent members of this world,
    How can we have satisfaction in life, if we live life without contentment?

In my last comment in Daiji I had said that it is worth pondering about conferring a Honorary Title to Leslie baab, a compere par excellence who provides that extra sparkle to the events and regales the audience with his witticism, resonant voice, poise, posture, sense of humour, knowledge, skill, with the ability to manage the event, gauge the public mood and assimilate it suitably in handling or managing the event. Lesli usually makes an impression on the audience and give beauty for the programme indicating enormously of his sheer abilities of event management and altruistic efforts towards the Konkani community. Truly Leslie baab is class apart in Mangalore when it comes to compering in English or in Konkani. He just carries away the audience through his rich soulful dialogues.

    Thanking God and His people is my Principle of Life as a sign of gratitude to them. No amount of Thanks can reach God if we leave behind His people to Thank. ‘Do we have Life-Satisfaction’ as you understand it is not a generic subject but a explicit theme reflected in my mind for a message. Who ever read this article and supported me or came forward with a suggestion with a pinch of salt made me feel good and will strengthen me for my future write-ups. Therefore, all is taken in the right spirit and pleasure to say ‘Thank You’ friends.

    My special Thanks goes to Daijiworld MD and Founder Walter Nandalike, Mr. Hemacharya Editor of Daijiweekly by whose Swabhiman Awards I got insight to write this article in communion with Mr. Melwn Rodrigues Director of Daijiworld and his TEAM with Mr. Praveen Tauro. Without this platform, it would have been very hard to share our thoughts in this society. Thus my Thanks goes to....

    Other day I set my focus on myself to offer some help to any need irrespective of caste and creed. It worked well. It did not stop there. Yesterday also, self within me asked me to sustain the momentum and I said surly I will. Hope it will turn into happier moments each day. I believe now that I shall serve the Master through his less fortunate creations. No one can buy this happiness of my immense delight and satisfaction. This is just a testimony I am glad to reveal. Thanks for this D-World forum for the good messages.

    Mogaal Cony baab,

    Thank you for sharing such a nice article on “ how to attain a life satisfaction”. Your articles have always inspired us in doing many good things and letting us think positively in to different aspects of our daily life. Life is all about giving and sharing isn't it? Some does it wholeheartedly and some does it out of compulsion. Giving and helping the needy is something which gives satisfaction to most of us. In my opinion all of us should have a sincere desire to give and share in whatever we have, so that we share Gods love among the needy.

    A beautiful article emphasized upon how our good deeds should lead us to achieve life-satisfaction.
    This write-up has given more than 10 examples who may not be able to lead a life onto life satisfaction. However, to achieve life-satisfaction there is a simple formula given in the Bible St. John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease". When HE is increased in our life, a life change will takes place to achieve life satisfaction by our selfless works and good deeds. Apart from laity best examples could be Priests and Nuns by whose sacrifice and selfless life they fill the universe with happiness by their community service. But there could be some exceptions who are bound to go astray as it happened during the life time of Jesus, Judas Iscariot the betrayer of the Master.

    On this context, wonderful examples given about the priests and nuns who the selflessness render their service to our community in particular and to our society in general.

    Very gud article Sir Antony...1st of all v r human being not God, so naturally v r never satisfied in our lives...so towards life evry 1 has their own opinion on satisfaction...'LIFE IS NOt BED OF ROSES', yes of course prayers can move mountains...U may help any 1, but NEVER allow ur left hand know wat ur ryt hand did...U can never say all priests and nuns r h'py...l have witnessed some in my fly who r not h'py...Well job satisfaction at work...???? not all r lucky to be satisfied there even...NO 1 is satisfied in their life...well those pretend r merely compromising...So nobody can have life satisfaction...evry 1 is craving for something or the other...

    When we write or speak it comes out of our heart & mind as true expressions of the soul. In that sense we can read a person as we read his articles, poems or novels.
    As a person Mr Antony Dsouza you have portrayed yourself by reaching your feelings and sentiments in these lines of charity & Reliability. May god grant you the instinct to come up with many other topics which may inspire others to lead a life of exemplary values.

    Antony... very good article explaining what makes life happy and satisfied, very simple if you want to lead a happy life be generous and don’t be self-centric. There is a real big joy in caring sharing and loving
    Life will be in complete without charity and love. If we spend a life caring, sharing and loving its worth.
    Antony awesome. You are an example for many in the society…enjoyed reading…

    Very nice article. Satisfaction is when we compare ourselves to the ones who are not in a position as we are. Looking up will result in pain in neck and looking down is more relaxing and refreshing. Keep writing and good luck.

    There is no satisfaction in life and want is unlimited.Satisfaction with available resources is attaining worldly satisfaction.BUT all round satisfaction could not be attained any individual in the world.That being said, STATE OF MIND will define satisfaction.

    Mr Anthony Cony D'souza, well done, having busy schedule,keeping some time for FOOD FOR THOUGHT is appreciated. Good piece of article on who is seeking satisfaction in life.KEEP YOUR GOOD WORK GOING.....

    One of the best article ever read on a simple word called 'SATISFACTION'
    In this materialistic world, many of them are less satisfied with life as their expectation are very high and they always want more and more
    and once those belongings are obtained they lose value, which in turn causes them to expect some more and the cycle repeats and the limit crosses.
    This article conveys a real meaning of life satisfaction to today's materialistic world. Thanks a lot for such a wonderful article.

    Fri, Aug 29 2014

    it is indeed a very good article mr.antony..I strongly believe in the saying no man is an island so I dont think anyone will have life satisfaction by self-pleasure alone without having any purpose in life. when you give a helping hand to others when you share
    what you have not only material things but your time, talent without asking for something in return then you'll find satisfaction.

  • Uday Rodrigues, Riyadh/Mlore

    Fri, Aug 29 2014

    If someone is an ‘I’ specialist and not a ‘we’ specialist, no amount ‘I’ will make his life happy for he is an egoist. If someone is a miser, nothing will bring satisfaction for he has not experienced happiness by giving, but only by receiving.

    Dear Bro.....Wonderful article. The above lines are the soul of your write up. People love to be 'I' instead of 'We' because they want to grab all the credits, Name and fame. They will realise the real joy only where they share the outcome or success.

    Keep writing and congratulations!

    Sure, a thought to share about the ingredients of life satisfaction is divine.

    We are really touched by the swabhiman awards and the last paragraph Quote: " a sincere desire to serve others will walk up to God as a silent prayer God is sure to bless him and his future generations and is bound to fulfill those desires every moment of his life, which in itself becomes a direct answer to the question 'do we have life satisfaction' ".

    Sure, there are good many people who care about the society who carry out a lot of humanitarian activities, thus all in the Bless name of Jesus Christ. Thank you Antony Sir, wonderful thought provoking glimpses of life.

    Individuals with disabilities are often deprived of chances to work, go to school and participate fully in society which creates blockades for their prosperity and well-being. The Pact on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is vital because it is a tool for ensuring that people with disabilities have access to the same rights and opportunities as everybody else. There are around 1 billion people with disabilities in the world. They are often the poorest of the poor. The stigma and discrimination they suffer are common in all societies. On the contrary, infirmity is thus not just a health delinquent. It is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives. Asphyxiating the difficulties faced by people with disabilities requires interventions to remove environmental and social barriers.

    Run with me a 100 meters race and let me be defeated – a gory challenge set forth by an able individual to a skimpy God’s humble choice. Ludicrous isn’t it ?. Today, we are being able to walk and talk, perfect in body-mind and soul and able to show up our face in the living society. It may not be enough for sure if we thank God each minute for making us His beloved Lambs.

    Cony Baab, do accept true hats off from this mini virile and take a full bow for a heart touching write up. You do feel right now as you are alongside God the Savior. Trust me, I am a big aficionado of your chic of living life.

    This is an outstanding article Antonyjee, which makes me remember the famous adage "What you Sow is What you Reap". Satisfaction in Life, to me, means a very simple truth - "if you satisfy others, you automatically get Self-Satisfaction". I have learnt Patience from the Impatient, I have learnt Kindness from the Unkind, I have learnt Gratefulness from the Ungrateful. I have now learnt how to get Self-Satisfaction from this Satisfying article of Antonyjee. In the rush to live, many people forget to live and thereby by their own actions, they loose Peace of Mind until reaching retirement. And after retirement, the search for Peace of Mind starts whereas Piece of Mind and Self-Satisfaction lies within oneself, if ever one is able to recognize it. Life starts at home. The way we lead our lives will greatly reflects on the lives of our Children. An important helping tool to get Self-Satisfaction, in my belief and in my experience, is to undertake frequent INTROSPECTION that would tell us how we currently lead our lives and how can we change our lives and the lives of people around us positively. Ego and Selfishness, I believe, are the 2 major governing elements that deprive us of Self-Satisfaction and Peace of Mind. Antonyjee, please continue gifting us many more great articles such as this one. I remain now with Kind Regards & Greetings of a Good Day, I am, A.A.SWAMINATHAN

    If money did not give satisfaction then so many people almost 99% of people in this world wouldn't have chased money . We have to accept the reality that life without money is just void. Not all could resist life without money .

    Satisfaction we can safely say is a 'State of Mind'.This 'equilibrium' as it were is not that simple to attain. Cony Sir has subtly explained the 'routes' to attain
    it.Is it not Sir? Satisfaction at the end is a feeling too, which cannot be fully expressed by way of words too.

    All his life our 'KONKANN KOGULL' sang for us ‘sanz zallire sanza zallire, ootu monshya bair saar sausaranthllo’ . I am sure who ever heard this song from the heart, he would never remain the same.
     
    I find this article in the family of ‘do good work before your end nears’ as Wilfy Rebimbus sang for us. WILFY REBIMBUS lived up to his song therefore his name and his works are immortal for us. His all songs reflected about advice, lessons, humanity, light fun to keep everyone happy and cheerful and above all about Christ’s teaching to give more than to receive. I am his fan. May his soul rest in Peace. Let his tribe increase. 
     
    Coming back to this article, good one brother, keep up the good work as you delivered it through your write-up. When coming to the good work, there are no ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ all are same children belong One God’ Family. Yes, let us stay Blessed. Praises to God, Glory to God.

    There is not a single view in this great article that I can dispute even in the wildest of my dreams. What a way to put your views in such a subtle and smooth way to make one go further on reading these great v ideas! I began with a view to read this article in installments considering I have a to attend some work and said let me read in installments but I simply could not resist reading it in one go and I am blessed. I agree on all points and being in touch with the retired priests and also active nuns, at times, here in Lucknow, I have seen in my own eyes the proof of what you say in the article. Of course, as you say, some may not be in a position to help as much as they do but you have explained that their efforts are being rewarded. In this connection, I am reminded of the word of John Milton well corroborating your views ”….They also serve, Who stand and Wait..”.
    Please keep writing, as now I have to read some of your previous writings and it won’t be long to finish and will wait for further ones.

    The last paragraph is shedding light to have a happy life. If we are chasing after more material things and pleasures of the world, that is totally a purposeless life, and we will be creating misery for ourselves.

    A life of compassion and sharing with the needy world in our capacity, a cheerful smile and a kind word even very small acts of concern for others will create happiness in us.

    Please keep up the good work. Everybody needs to read such articles at this age of total confusion and misery.

    when i looked at the topic ' do we have life satisfaction' the title itself made me interesting to read one paragraph to the next gave me much satisfaction that is required to do from our part. Subject is not easy and more over to convenience others still more difficult but since this article is has much implications, gives us understanding to stay blessed. Yes once attitude towards life is more important than how much happiness we get from the bank account. Money may come and go as we have seen many in lives but right attitude will carry through to give us life satisfaction. While our life is an open book and if some one do not read, while closing no one will remember too..very sarcastic... received no life satisfaction and given none to any satisfaction too but only selfishness will rule till this open book is closed. Good message Sir. Blessed are those who understood this article. God Bless you too.

    Very meaningful and thought provoking subject. Whatever we do in our life-time with devotion and willingly, that leads to a cheerful living. As you clearly mentioned it is very true that, life satisfaction is very much different from Corporate world achievements or financial freedom. Every time when you bring up society-friendly matters, I am sure it enlightens many minds like me to take a pause and think over it. Spirit filled article Sir, thanks for explaining real meaning of Satisfaction.

    Yes one should not imitate Mother Theresa but people should see Mother Theresa in us by our good deeds through our neighbor or to those who are sick and depressed. You are giving such kind of messages, is itself is a message to needy in this world. God Bless you.

    yet another article on Life and this time enumerating the attitude towards life satisfaction. The outlook of the author adds impetus to the thought of positive frame one should have towards life. Here there is a call for introspection either to count our blessings one by one and be happy or to brood over the misfortunes blaming people and situations. Kudos to Sir Antony for inspiring us time and again with your thought igniting articles and keeping aflame in us the positive vibes.

    This is one of the most heart touching article i have read so far.
    Entire article gives excellent message in this particular line

    Quote
    one can understand that life satisfaction is not the same as job satisfaction, academic satisfaction or professional satisfaction but are good desires, good deeds done for free without seeking any personal glory or any tags attached to it.
    Unquote.

    Thank you so much sir for sharing excellent thoughts with us.
