Contentment
Contentment invites you to be at peace with what is. It’s more subtle than happiness, more grounded than rapture, and accessible every moment. Contentment tells you that you have enough and you are enough and that it’s good. When you’re content, you rest in what is, instead of racing after what should be. When you find contentment, you still have dreams, but the difference is that they don’t have you. Right now, are you content? Do you feel present and complete with what this moment provides? Can you savor the apple in your hand, take delight in the child at your side and appreciate all that surrounds you – without wondering if there’s something better? Can you survey your world and feel the calm of contentment? Can you let yourself bask without reaching for more? Contentment never asks you to settle for less, simply to acknowledge there’s enough in what there is now.
