contentment

When we turn life__ little pleasures into remedies for life__ troubles, we are setting up idols in our hearts, which actually push God aside.

A year of contentment is worth more than ten of prosperity.

That was bliss. Being cared for. Wanted. Feeling so necessary to someone__ existence that there was no place for the loneliness inside her.

Contentment is the only one substitute for happiness.

There was a man with tongue of woodWho essayed to sing,And in truth it was lamentable.But there was one who heardThe clip-clapper of this tongue of woodAnd knew what the manWished to sing,And with that the singer was content.

Maybe I don't know yet how to be happy and play well at the same time.

My personal opinion is that the neutral position on the mood spectrum__hat I called emotional sea level__s nothappiness but rather contentment and the calm acceptance that is the goal of many kinds of spiritual practice.

Well, aren't you just saying it's better to be neurotic, sensitive, and miserable than unimaginative, adjusted and content? Is it really better?

Contentment should not be confused with smugness_ Contentment is being happy despite of the successes and failures.

If God gave you contentment then you would never pursue your life purpose. It is your restlessness that pushes you to take action, change your life and seek more of what you could possibly be.

Money brings courage with it but lock contentment behind.

Some of the freckles I once loved are now closer to liver spots. But it__ still the eyes we look at, isn__ it? That__ where we found the other person, and find them still.

Give a bull grass, sweet water and a willing heifer and he is happy. But a man is never content. If no gadflies of worry exist he will invent them.

The one who finds contentment is truly rich.

If we cannot be contented with our current lives and possessions, then we are feeding an appetite that no amount of money will ever satiate.

I couldn't ignore the fact that it felt good. So. Very. Good. To be held, in bed, in the arms of a tall, strong, handsome man.

The secret of contentment is never to allow yourself to want anything which reason tells you you haven't a chance of getting.

I live wherever you are cos honestly there's no better place to call home.
