True contentment brings contentment to others as much as to the self.

Projection:
When we have to do something, we usually do it the way we like. We
don't bother about others and only see if we are happy about it. So
we find that others are not content with us although we are happy
with what we are doing.

Solution:
Our actions need to be such that they do not cause sorrow to anyone
so we need to check our actions and change them. When we do
something in the right way others will be content with us as much
as we are.

Self-Introspection


Meditate on an external object that holds some symbolic reference
for you. You can begin more simply by finding in nature something
(real, imagined or illustrated) that holds particular symbolism for
you. The symbol can be anything, so long as its associations are
positive - you might choose a lake, a mountain, a river or a tree.
You can connect with the symbols and use them as reflections of
qualities in your own personality. In this way you gain a deeper
understanding of the inner self.

Whatever you find in these symbols will have correspondences
within yourselves e.g. a lake might represent the quality of peace
inside you, a mountain might represent maturity or high
self-esteem, a river might represent flexibility (a river changes
direction very easily depending on the obstacles in its path), a tree
might represent generosity (a tree provides shelter and fruits to
mankind), etc.
