EP 158 // Do You Want to Live With More Contentment in Your Life so You Can Enjoy Time Doing What You Love

Hello Friend!

Where are you looking for contentment in your life? Contentment refers to the state of being satisfied and at ease with one’s life and circumstances. Embracing contentment involves appreciating the present moment, finding joy in the little things, and cultivating a sense of fulfillment in the midst of life’s challenges.  Contentment is the lifeblood of happiness.  Your journey toward purpose and joy will be short lived without it.

Learning contentment is difficult in our society that says the more you have or do, the better, especially when you are constantly trying to keep up with others. If you are not content, discontentment will distract you from living with simplicity and deep meaning. That is why you have to CHOOSE contentment because otherwise discontentment will begin to take over. Every one of us has a different journey, but you can actually learn to be content with little and live an incredibly happy life when you aren’t always chasing stuff and wanting more. 

Did you know that contentment not only brings you purpose and joy, but also reduces stress and makes your life enjoyable so you can live the life you were destined to live.

Are you looking for contentment in all the wrong places?  When you realize that contentment is not found in accumulating more for yourself, but in giving more to others, your whole life can change.  The less you need, the more you give.  Giving your time and money will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life and generous people are healthier, happier and more satisfied with life and less inclined to search for it somewhere else. 

I want you to think about this as you learn to be more content.  A good friend is the best gift you can give-people naturally are attracted toward others who have an open heart to share.  Giving of yourself improves lives and is an example to the world of a better way to live and can encourage others to do the same!  

I want you to realize, you already have enough friend, so don’t be held hostage by the pursuit of more!  Remember how really blessed you are.

Just like homesteading, when you start your contentment journey, keep it simple and start small.  Maybe you could give of your time to a friend or someone in need.  Make a meal for someone that had a baby or find a charity that aligns with your values and either volunteer or donate money. 

As you start to give your time, money and energy, your life will feel lighter and you will start to learn to be content.
