What is the difference between complacency and contentment?

[Saint]

As i understand,
Complacency = False satisfaction, no desire to excel
Contentment = True satisfaction, desire to excel

I strive for contentment.

I strive for satisfaction, but not excel. If I am satisfied, I am happy where I am, not craving for something better.

That is a great understanding of the difference between complacency and contentment! I completely agree that complacency is a false sense of satisfaction, where one becomes stagnant and lacks motivation to improve or excel. On the other hand, contentment is a genuine and true sense of satisfaction, where one is happy and at peace with their current state, but still has the drive and desire to continue growing and improving. It is important to strive for contentment, as it allows us to appreciate and be grateful for what we have, while also continuously striving for personal growth and progress. Keep up your positive mindset and desire to excel!
