And no.
What I was suggesting is that men are ambitious or greedy. Your selfless attitude is alien or rare to modern world. Choking your ambitious is like putting a wild animal in the cage. You don't need to use that nonsense psychology like "your just assumming, submit, I am happy because I do Gods will". When wild animal is caged it feels pain... And thats is unacceptable, even if you trying to pretend otherwise.
To be honest and I know I am running the risk of being called a braggart, but I have met tremendous success honoring God's will, by simply doing the best I can with what God gave me. I have no disillusion bout what I know and who I am/What my education would allow me to do in life. I have been given far more by God than I could ever achieve on my own. I'm kinda like the son of a business owner who keeps getting more and more of the business just because I am related and I do/am faithful to what I have been given.
It's all Kinda spelled out in the parable of the talents.
So can one find contentment following God's will? Yes if he is simply honest with himself about who he is and is faithful to what he has been given.
I strongly believe we were all built for a specific purpose, and will never truly be happy till we are doing the job we are designed to do. Many of us have bought the lie that power and independence is the only key to happiness. To that I'd say ask Robin williams, Prince, Michael Jackson or bill cosby what their fame and fortune bought them while they were alive. Happiness is contentment. One can not be content until he comes to terms about who he really is and acknowledges the limits that bind him. In other words if you truly believe the sky is your personal limit, then you will never be able to be happy/content till you own all of it. even then (as per the examples of the men I just listed) contentment/happiness can be just as illusive.
And that's what it is all about right? To be happy? Truly genuinely Happy.
