Are You Truly Content?

Guest post by: Todd Linaman

Article Overview: It’s amazing to think that every day millions of people in our country spend their most productive hours at a job they wish they could change. Is this because there are very few jobs that are truly satisfying and rewarding? This is no doubt true in some cases, but I believe many people who are unhappy with their work are also discontent with other areas of their life as well.

Are You Truly Content?

I recently read a survey that revealed over half of all Americans would choose a new line of work if they had the chance.

It’s amazing to think that every day millions of people in our country spend their most productive hours at a job they wish they could change. Is this because there are very few jobs that are truly satisfying and rewarding? This is no doubt true in some cases, but I believe many people who are unhappy with their work are also discontent with other areas of their life as well.

When a person is discontent they often look to acquire or accomplish things they believe will make them happy. Some people buy things, while others may decide to start a new relationship, move to a new city or try to secure a new job. These are not necessarily bad things to pursue in life; however, it’s important to know that they will never provide the real and lasting contentment people long for.

Real contentment and happiness is not a byproduct of material possessions or “ideal” life circumstances, but rather from what you possess on the inside. It comes from the joy of meaningful relationships with friends, family and God as well as pursuing purposeful work and utilizing your gifts, talents and abilities to serve others.

If you want to experience more contentment and happiness in your life begin the process from the inside out. When you are truly content because of what you possess on the inside the things on the outside are of less consequence.

“Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.” Unknown

Re: Meta Tags - [quote="ChrisH":tzc1bohg]I'm just curious what you all think -- - How important do you think meta tags are? If the content is keyword optimized and they are being used correctly (as per Google's current instructions) how important are meta tags?? Chris[/quote:tzc1bohg] Metatags were very important 10 years ago. Now, search engines are smarter... There are 2 very important things on your page: 1/ Page title: make sure to place some keywords in your title (avoid title like "welcome to my website, great information resource". You are wasting prime keyword real estate. 2/ Content. Content. Content. Content. Content. Oh, did I mention content?? Your content as to mention your main keywords several times. 3/ <h> and <b> tags are very important too. They tell search engines you emphasize these keywords.
Re: Best looking social networking site? - Hi Kevin [quote:3h76yt08]With so many social networking sites to pick and choose from, what influences your decision to join a particilar site? Is it just your friends, the content, people using it or looks??[/quote:3h76yt08] For me, the most essential criteria in selecting a Social Networking Site is its Content followed closely by popularity- in terms of daily visitors. Then comes the Content followed by the Friends and looks. Most of do social networking to attract traffic to their website(s) and as such the Content and Popularity of the site are important. btw, the list doesn't have digg or netscape or del.is.us which are the top social media sites.

Re: Eng Lit Academic Site Up For Review - Hi Yinka, Thank you for your input. I think you're right about content being more important than graphic design. "Content is king" as they say.
The best way to spin 1 article in 5 - What do you suggest to spin 1 article in 5 articles beside asking writer to rewrite it 5 times which can be quite costly for 1 article. I have tried Content Composer and it is quite difficult for me to use as I still need to write multiple phrases and words.
