to be kept busy, have enough money to comfortable live, good relationships with friends, family and lover(s).

Then just to plan something new as often as possible.

Im not sure how you know you've reach full happiness and enlightenment within life but to feel content and happy is enough for now.

If you don't know if you are happy or not you will have severe emotional problems. Could things be better? Well for everyone they can without exception.

Wow, I had to peep at your profile to look at your age as you sound really mature and wise (Sorry I dont mean to be condescending) - but your definition does it for me especially with emphasis on being active, enjoying new things and good relationships.

I know I'm happy when things don't seem a chore. Yes there's always opportunity for life to be better, but I'm happy.

I have most of the things that are important to me, and have a positive Outlook on life.

That's a good outlook on life. To be content while knowing it can be better is a healthy way of looking at things.

to continue to grow as a person, share with others, role model behaviours to the young and demonstrate how to achieve goals ( whatever they may be ). Offer others less fortunate a helping hand, nothing more rewarding than to observe others progress and know you played a very small part.

and display humility always.

What is the difference between "happy" and "content" for people?

There seems to be more and more people who aren't happy with the way things are now. A positive attitude always endears you to others.

I agree with that point about positive attitude - being with somebody who has a good outlook to life even in bad times is infinitely more attractive and it will, in my experience, contribute to changing things for the better.

Well I've had my dark times like a lot on here might have. I came to understand the stuff I can influence, and the stuff I can't. As long as I'm ok with what I can influence, and work towards my goals then all is good.

Totally agree, it is genuinely about knowing what you can and what you can not control - trying to change things beyound your control only leads to frustration, anxiety and depression in some cases.

If you can stand on your own 2 feet and look at the positives then you won't go far wrong in life.

I had a great career and I loved so much watching people progress. Watching them grow within their people management roles... I loved it. Nothing more rewarding than people bringing out the best in others.

One guy I spotted as someone with talent when others said no way.... Years later, he was my boss for 3 months... now a managing director with one of the biggest banks.

Could you please spot me and make my career rocket? Only joking, I do get your point and it is great to see people doing well as a result of something you have done.

Content for me signifies being calm, those that know me know majority of the time this isnt possible, but the days i dont have stuff buzzing around or strong emotional feelings either positive or negative are such lovely days.

I think just to lose the money worries, as long as I take my meds I'm 'happy' but would be more content if not worrying about cash flow.

To have a circle of good friends you can rely on if and when needed and the ability to walk into a shop and buy a new washing machine or whatever, without having to worry about the price. Good friends are hard to find.
