Well, if we desire for something that makes us happy, I don't see anything wrong with it. Because, our life is what we make of it. I want to live happy and die happy. I don't want any regrets. And somethings you can only accomplish them when you have the will and energy for it. I think contentment is fine, until it doesn't make us happy.

I think ,I said the same as well,Definitely we can desire for what makes us happy. But we should be patient till we get the desire thing and be thankful for what we have right now,This will make us feel contentment.Which will give us inner peace and happiness.

PS:Hope i am clear with my point!

Being patient is fine, but waiting too much for something we desire, it will take away the need to have it. Everything is fine if it makes us happy. That's what matters. May be it would look like selfishness or greediness, but it depends on what we ask for. Treating ourselves right is the point.

Being patient doesn't mean just sitting idle,you should keep on trying to get your desire.But you have to be patient until you finally get it.
