Before the move to satisfied, one should distinguish satisfaction and happiness. Some times these two words will be used interchangeably. But these two are different concepts.

Satisfaction not linked with your joy or cry. Happiness is a specific moment, immediate and short, whereas satisfaction is a general feeling in your life. Satisfaction linked to many domains in your life like education, job, friends, relation, marriage, romance, health, wealth etc and particularly with your attitude. Satisfaction is a stable state but your happiness leads to exciting or cry. One can measure your happiness but your satisfaction cannot be measured.

“Life satisfaction is the degree to which a person positively evaluates the overall quality of his/her life as a whole. In other words, how much the person likes the life he/she leads”                                                                                                                                         — Ruut Veenhoven.
