If you can be content in the here and now, my friend, then you are already a leg up on most people. However, the reality of heaven and hell is not a question you want to wait until this life passes to find out about. Contentment is not a way of life in hell; i've been there, i know!
By accepting the sacrifice that Jesus made for the sins of the whole world as the gift that God intended FOR ALL OF US (John 3:16), we can enter into the sweet by and by, spiritually speaking, right here and now. Enjoying this physical dimension that we live in then becomes a geniune joy, unspeakable at times, and which I believe can truly be compared to heaven, but as I said before, this takes practice; I'm not there yet, but in Christ there is hope, even for me, as the apostle Paul writes to Christians everywhere:
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day." (if you'd like i can get you the chapter and verse on this).
In the meantime, may the Father's will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
