Contentment... Well I remember a good 4 years or so ago, I was pretty much content, I had everything I could have wanted and was happy with that I guess, lots of disposable income and lots of stuff.
Then I met a woman and after (too short) a while she moved in and she ended up pregnant, oops, wasn't planned, but when I found out that night when we went to bed, I was with the woman I loved and I was going to be a father that was the best feeling I have ever had, when I thought I was made. But, as with everything it didn't last long, after a string of events ending in her moving to London, her not telling me when the baby was even born and ultimately ignoring all my phonecalls and moving to god knows where I haven't seen my daughter in a long time.
I have even more/better stuff than I ever had, but have never been as happy as I was then...
By posting your current state of mind, you are inviting external appraisal and confirmation, therefore you seem to be lacking in Maslow's "Self Esteem" level - concentrate on that before doing anything spiritual/self-actualizational.
I have no idea how to solve that problem, but at least I can help identify what the problem actually is.
