Wrong To Be Content At Work?

[McMonster]

Hi All,

I've been at my job for over 7 years now and recently I feel like I'm being judged by others for not pursuing opportunities/advancements with more money, responsibilities and status.

Im happy with my job, I like the people I work with and it gives me the means to pay the bills and live a comfortable life. I do not want for more stuff I actually want fore less stuff in my life.

While I don't find my work particularly challenging i find I challenge myself in other ways like delving deeper into learning about my interests and recently into self development, awareness and living a simpler more fulfilling life.

Im not sure why it gets to me and I know I shouldn't care what people think about my choices...these are things that I'm contemplating about at the moment.

Does everyone go through this at the beginning of their new journey? Anyone with any insights?
