For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Be confident, cheerful and contented. The mind can
produce any degree of contentment and peace. To generate these, no other
agency or help is required.
Contentment consist not in adding more fuel,
but in taking away some fire.
Contentment
is the greatest form of wealth.

A
contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.
If
you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If
you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.
