The Beauty of Contenment

The Beauty of Contentment

Are you already contented with your life? What makes you contented? Your high grades or your colorful love life? Whatever it is that makes you contented, it is all up to you. Your contentment may not be mine and my contentment may not be yours. We may not possess the same contentment in life. But, what is contentment? How can a person be contented? Contentment is something we all desire to have to be completely happy and fully satisfied in our lives. It is something that we really love. It is a missing piece that we need to find to make us whole as a person or complete. We as human beings are always moving forward for something, aspiring to be something great, wanting something more than what we already have. But most of the time we just do not feel satisfied. I believe that there is only one thing that can really bring the satisfaction in our life. One thing that will fill the missing piece of us as a person. One thing that we can give every single drop of our love. One thing that will complete us. It can be our God, your family, your friends, or even materials that really mean to us. It just depends on us. Oprah Winfrey said, “Be thankful for what you have, you will end up having more. If you concentrate on what you do not have, you will never, ever have enough”. Contentment is a mental or emotional state of satisfaction maybe drawn from being at ease in one’s situation, body and mind. Informally speaking, contentment could be a state of having accepted one’s situation and is a milder and more tentative form of happiness. “Happiness comes from contentment” a quote that gives us the best benefit of being contented. Being contented simply gives us the happiness. The happiness that cures all the pains we have. The happiness that gives comport to all our burdens. The happiness that gives us the reason to live and stay longer in this world.
