says achieving continuous contentment in a Western capitalist society is hard, if not impossible. In some ways, being human is pitted directly against contentment because the trait is not rewarded by evolution.
In the U.S., in particular, we're constantly looking at metrics that help us advance starting from a young age. Testing starts in kindergarten, and kids quickly learn that advancing is more important than learning. And we carry this attitude into adulthood. "Everything high school students do is to check a box to get into a better college rather than for their happiness or personal growth," says Feliciano.Feliciano contends that when our plates are full, we have less mental bandwidth to engage in any sort of appreciation because we're distracted with what we have to do next. We spend too much time in fight or flight mode with our sympathetic nervous system preparing for a threat.
Clear your morning and start your day with some moments of gratitude in whatever form makes sense to you. Maybe it's prayer, meditation, a mindful walk or a cup of coffee alone on the couch. The good news, says Daitzman, is that, like a fine wine, finding states of happiness and contentment gets easier with age. "Older people are better at knowing what works and doesn't work in their lives," he says. When you've been succeeding and also suffering for longer, you know what to do and not to do to bring on a state of contentment. And it's all about listening to those messages.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the most famous, inspiring words in all of American history. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' From the moment the ink dried on the Declaration of Independence, Americans have been in a perpetual state of argument over its meaning. Democracy for whom? Freedom and equality for whom? No founding father better articulated the ideals or personified the paradox of the American Revolution.
