Being Content
Learning to be content with what you have instead of dwelling on what you don't have is a simple concept. It is probably the one thing that will keep your perspective in life. When we have gratitude in our hearts, we are content.
Homework:
Are you struggling with stuff-itis? The insatiable appetite to acquire because it is on sale, shopping makes you feel better, or because other people have it. If so, then you need a good dose of gratitude. The simple things in life are really what is important.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us therewith be content." 1 Timothy 6:6-8
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." Epicurus
"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." Frederick Keonig
