I contented what i have.Everything will come is a blessed to god.Important to decipline your self and accept what the blessed come and then sactisfied.Remenber everything will now for you dont for get to thanks to god .
I think you should be satisfied with whatever you have. You should not be looking at what others are doing and always be thankful to the Lord with the little you have. And I think you being contend with what you have will help prevent you envying what your neighbour has. So just have satisfaction with the little you have and you will be contend with that.
As I observed myself it looks like I never stop on planning to buy new things that I dont have yet.
Being contended on something is the hardest things to do..I think you must see on the other side of that just appreciate small things and don't relay on the things that not much important to your daily life...
To be satisfied with what you have, you need to put yourself in this place, if you have nothing, then the person begins to understand that he is really rich and should be happy.

Very easy, try to look to those who are very less fortunate than you more than looking to rich people. You will imagine how thankful that you are blessed more than others. You may not have perfect life and huge money but you are healthy , you eat everyday, you have happy family and friends and that's enough to be thankful and contented.
To be contented, it comes deep within yourself, You should have discipline, your no. 1 enemy is yourself, then ask guidance to God, Only the divine creator can satisfy our needs.

I am also looking forward to the opinion of others because I know to myself that I have a lack of ideas how to to contented on what I have. Even if I always say to myself that be contented of what I have, my minds always pushing me to buy the things that I want like phones, watches and shoes even if I have a lot of it. 
In gaining and creating new things, there is no limit. However, being content teaches us to learn to be happy on what we already have and not be saddened by what we don't have. Contentment is an attitude that we can learn, though not in an easy way.
what matters most is what you believe. If you are confident enough to say what you have done and gained so far in your life is just the outcome of your efforts and commitments you have made behalf of your success, you can really be content on what you have because you have done something and your life is worthy of surviving in this beautiful planet. Nothing comes without an effort. That is all we have to remember.

Be happy and contented if what god given to us in our entire life, life is meaningful, I'm very thankful and contented for god giving me a wonderful parents, what kind of life I'm leaving now,and still dreaming to buy things that I dont have yet
by accepting with all your heart what you have right now, and then pursue what you know right. Be happy with every thing that happens everyday, and think that everything has a reason why everything happens. always remember, God will not give a situation if you know that you cannot solve the problem. everyone has a reason. so you must accept everything and last know how to satisfied .
Meditation actually helps a lot for this - at least in my experience. Because you constantly practice being focused on the present moment, meditation enables you to stop thinking about the future or what it could be like. This helps reduce rumination and increase contentment.
Human is a creature who will never be satisfied with what they have had. And that's the fact. Take an example of a rich man who is never satisfied with his wealth. He keep collecting more and more. I guess it's the nature of human being. I will say that humans are greedy. They always want more. Only those who can control themselves that are able to stop their coming desires.

Well, that's what you called discontented with what you have. Actually, we supposed to be happy with we have in everyday of our lives. So that we may not feel discontentment to our personal characteristics as well.
First, realize that there are still many people who are less fortunate than us. Many of them are poorer, more difficult to live, and even have incomplete health and physical conditions. Why are we still hard to be grateful?
Secondly, we are still given the chance to live to this day, this moment, when our lifetime is limited. What does it mean? We can still fix our mistakes in the past, do the best for the present, and score glorious achievements in the future

on my own observations I can say that we need to help the other people...when there are people who are grateful to you and when you feel that you have made someone's life easier or made someone happy, you become satisfied
Nobody is ever contented with what we have, because we are humans, and as a human being we are expecting the best for ourselves and expecting means wanting some other things that we don't have. We humans aim for more, for example, we set a goal and that goal is already achieved and we set a new goal and achieved it again and then again and again.It is a cycle
To be contented with what you have is a matter of character... values and perspective one cannot be contented with what he has if he does not learn to accept what he does not have... it's just a matter of choice...to accept what you have and what you do not have.

I guess to be contented of what we have is we have to live simplific life and we have to focus on something that is important rather than focusing on shopping. You have to learn to be you self, you have to be contented of what you have because that is also a blessing in our life.
In my opinion, you should learn to live simply and focus on something other than focusing on shopping. You can spend a few days traveling here, finding out what else you want to buy or not. Or you can use that money for meals, reward yourself a hearty meal. In general, do everything possible to forget about shopping or finding a new hobby. hope you will succeed
