Maybe you personally can simply choose to be content. But I think you're making a seriously naive/oversimplified statement about people in general to project it any further.

Being content is a reaction to circumstances. Now, you can work on your own parameters for contentment, sure. But you seem to be suggesting some sort of Control Panel where you just slide things around.
