It is about accepting yourself for who you are, flaws and all, and knowing that you are loved by God.When you are self-satisfied, you are not afraid to be yourself. You are not afraid to stand up for what you believe in, even if it is not popular. You are not afraid to take risks and try new things.Self-satisfaction also leads to humility. When you are content with who you are, you do not need to compare yourself to others. You do not need to seek their approval. You are comfortable in your own skin.However, there is a difference between being humble and being a pushover. There are times when it is necessary to be strict, especially when dealing with people who are trying to take advantage of you.If you are being strict with someone because you are following a goal of self-satisfaction, then it is important to make sure that your goal is truly in line with God's will. If it is not, then your strictness may be motivated by pride or ego, rather than by a genuine desire to do what is right.Ultimately, self-satisfaction is a journey, not a destination. It is something that you have to work at every day. But if you are willing to put in the effort, it can lead to a life of peace, joy, and contentment.On the professional level, I work on Public sector institutional Development from a women empowerment perspective, experience from Arab countries.
