con·tent·ment
:
the state of being mentally and physically satisfied with things just
as they are
:
peace of mind; satisfaction
:
a happy or pleased feeling with one's circumstances
It
is comforting to be at place in life where you know you can handle
whatever comes along. You've cleared unnecessary things and
exasperating people out of your path so that you can go your own way.
That's contentment.
Some
people always strive to be somewhere else or someone else; they will
never be truly content. You have to be comfortable with who you are
before you can find your way to where you want to be.
Happiness
and satisfaction in life come from knowing you are where you belong.
That doesn't mean you're stuck in one place, but that you trust
yourself to go forward confidently and enjoy the journey.
“When
you can think of yesterday without regret
and tomorrow without fear,
you are near contentment.”
– unknown
“At
some point you gotta let go, sit still,
and let contentment come to
you.”
– Elizabeth Gilbert
