It just means that you will find a greater satisfaction in knowing that you are able to do and be anything you want. Anytime you give your best, earnest, and hardest effort, it is impossible for you to fail. A failure is someone who lacks the desire and effort to try. If you try, you are never a failure. Being content does not mean being happy. You can be content and lazy at the same time. Being content can also mean that you are satisfied right where you are, and feel no reason to change your circumstances. Again, being content does not mean being happy; and in this article I wrote, I equate being content with a lack of desire for personal effort, learning, growth, and change. ---Penna To want to prove something to yourself does not mean that you are unhappy with yourself.

I see the word "proving" being such that we are not happy with ourselves; that we have to prove to ourselves and to others that we are better than who we are right now. In a way, if we feel that we always have to prove things to ourselves, what happens when someone gives their hardest and earnest effort, and through no fault of their own, fail? They may actually feel like failure because they failed to prove themself. Although we can always do and be better, I believe that it is a matter of improving who we are. I absolutely believe that their is always room for improvement within ourselves, and we must reach our highest potential. At the same time, I also believe that to some degree, if we are not content with ourselves, than that may lower our self-esteem which in turn, can hinder our will to do better. I find that people who are in dead end jobs are actually not happy people and are not content with themselves. Yet, I find that they feel that their life is in such a rut, they don't have the desire to change. I equate being content with being happy.
