Choose contentment

by Ralph Marston

Contentment is often seen as a lack of ambition, but that’s not true. Contentment is a lack of anxiety, an absence of neediness, a freedom from resentment.

Contentment is a choice you make regardless of circumstance. Doing so locks you into the power of the moment you’re in without restricting your future possibilities.

Contentment does not in any way prevent you from desiring or seeking or achieving more. On the contrary it more fully opens you to your great potential.

When you choose contentment, you’re filled with appreciation and gratitude, with peace and acceptance. That deepens your connection to the abundance in your life and throughout all of existence.

Contentment reminds you of how far you’ve come. From that you can draw strength to go even further.

Feel contentment for who you are, for where you are, for all you have. Let it inspire you to remain solidly on a positive path.
