Whilst we’re working towards a goal being content in the present moment is equally important.
We shouldn’t be living to far (in our heads) into to the future neither the past.
Being content is different from comfortable. In fact people are often uncomfortable with the idea of being content. It makes them feel like maybe it’s some kind of defeat in accepting their current situation.
Honestly it’s not that, being content allows you to rest in the place you’re currently at and appreciate the things you currently have before your current goal is reached.
Learning to be content with a little is equally important as being content with a more.
It gives us a lens of gratefulness rather than lack. Which having a lens of lack will always play heavy on our minds and if your working towards anything it will feel ten times harder. Decisions will be made in haste because lack creates a sense of urgency.
Contentment is not accepting our current predicaments, its recognising this is where I am right now and that’s ok. I can work with this until my breakthrough comes.
Enjoy the small and big things. Enjoy the waiting, Enjoy the little things in the everyday. Enjoy the slow moments.
Be present.
Be content.
