Self satisfaction
I’m definitely a goal-oriented person. I always have my eye on a goal, whether
that’s writing a book, improving my blog, enjoy nature early in the morning,
losing weight, or one of a dozen other goals. I’ve had and usually achieved in
the last couple of year.
Doesn’t that seem to indicate that I’m not content with my life? Not at all. I’m
extremely content with my life, with what I have, and with who I am. I have
accepted that I am the type of person who will always be striving for a goal, the
type of person who enjoys a challenge, and who enjoys the journey. It’s not the
goal that matters to me it’s the journey to get there that is so fun. And I’m
content with being that type of person.
Today I like to discuss contentment, and the amazing things it can do in all
aspects of our lives. And then we’ll look at a few tips for getting to contentment.
I’m going to use my life as an example here, only because I’m more intimately
familiar with it than any other life. Looking back, I wasn’t always content. There
have been times in my life when I wasn’t happy, when things seemed dismal,
when I wish I had more. I wasn’t content with the way things were, and now
realized that I was wrong.
You might say, “But my life is crap! Of course I’m going to be unhappy!” And I
hear you: I’ve had those times when I was overweight when I was not happy
with my blood relations, when my life was a mess.
When I was unhappy, I focused on all the bad things inmy life. Not only that, but
I continually thought about how bad they were, and would complain, and would
ask, “Why me?
Let’s look at the times of happiness, in contrast: I focused instead on the good
things in my life. There were still good things. At least I am educated! At least I
had someone who loved me! At least I wasn’t sick! At least I wasn’t homeless. I
counted, instead, my blessings.
Here are some things that have worked for me
 Be honest
