@MM83 you're not there yet pal

I understand this viewpoint, I've even lived this viewpoint in the past, but I'm more inclined to agree with @MM83. If you allow yourself to be content with your current happiness, you'll lose the hunger to aspire to more. But that's not wrong or right for everyone. Personally, I've always been of the mindset contentment breeds contempt. If you accept what you have and allow it to make you happy, why would you ever want more?

@intoleRANT I just don't know if we're ready, as a group of people, for such mind-blowing notions as 'learning to be happy with what you have' - it's not that it's incredibly patronising, more that it's incredibly dangerous to toy with the fragile minds of engineers in this way.
After working on 7 projects last year with 7 different groups and learning to "flow like water", I don't feel the urge to rant anymore. There are always going to be all kinds of weird scenes, cheap clients, incompetent coworkers, people that pretend to know something when they actually know shit. All of those are just tests life is presenting you to make you learn to be peaceful and tolerant.
The world is broken, accept it, and allow yourself to be an ordinary human being, you'll be free and happier. Stuff like the law of attraction does exist. Just learn to be happy and grateful for what you get and you'll get a ton more reasons to be happy and grateful
