Are you actually happy, or have you just become comfortable with your life?

There is a difference between being content and being accustomed to something. Sometimes we stay in situations because they are familiar.

We know what to expect, what disappointments to prepare for and which parts of ourselves to quieten down.

And because nothing is particularly wrong, we convince ourselves that everything must be right. But what if comfort and happiness aren’t always the same thing?

What if you’ve stopped asking for more because you’ve become too familiar with what you have?

So, here’s our question:

Are you genuinely happy with the life you’re living, or have you simply learnt how to live with it? Take a moment before you answer. And if you’re willing, tell us what you think. We’d love to hear from you.
