There exists a very thin line of difference between a complacent person and a contented person. Some people erroneously fall into the temptation of thinking that being complacent equals to being grateful. They wrongly believe that complacency eliminates them from the train of 'go-getters'. Their ignorance lies in the thin line of difference between complacency and contentment.
Being content means being happy while being complacent means refusing to work to improve. Becky Lee also gets it right when she says "Contentment means to feel peace with the current state you're in, regardless of the circumstances around you while Complacency means to grow numb to it, accept it and abandon ambition for change."
Against that stream of thought, you must understand these two vital points:
1. Contented people can be grateful for where they are and what they have but believe that it can be better and they can have more.
2. Contented people do not necessarily covet what others have but use the success of others as a motivation to spur them to greatness.
In the words of Scott Mecker " The key to being happy is to realize that you have what you need and become content but the key to success is to be constantly improving and never become complacent
Make up your mind to be contented with whatever and wherever you find yourself in 2017 but avoid being complacent.
Remember the key word is BALANCE.
