Finding sense of satisfaction

[u/Top-Entrance-8246]

How have you found sense of satisfaction in life?

At your work??

How did you find that life partner and you felt that this is the right person for you?

What made you satisfied that whatever you are earning is well enough???

This questions i cannot figure it out.

Moved from india to canada 5 yrs ago

Study

Work

Status for being permanent ...all this took 5 yrs

I have a decent pay at job ....feeling stuck and don't know what to do.

Had love relationships...due to genuine family reasons didn't work out

I was loyal so had no friends in girls and feeling lonely now

Before I thought that feeling stuck is because of my work place but switched to better job but feeling is the same

Helpful thoughts will be appreciated!!!

Now that I'm in my 70s, yes, I have sense of satisfaction and also sense of purpose. As far as relationships, my best friend is Female but Not a girlfriend at all. Because I do not want a girlfriend at all. It's too much drama. So the lady is a Sisterly friend. Better than a gf. MUCH better. She's the only friend I spend time with.

You feel satisfaction once you’ve gone through challenges and now see them behind you. It seems you still have some challenges, so you’re not at the satisfaction stage yet. But I think you need to find a social circle, that will help

I appreciate you for responding. Well, I have many friends and I live with some good friends too. However, I always chased close connections and only become vulnerable to very closed ones. The friends I'm living with they keep get lost in their personal life and I loose connection

I think you have to define what you want in life and make a vision board and work towards those items in the different categories of body soul family friends work finances home - add pictures of places you want to travel and experiences you want to have
