Being Content

I am currently on a journey of the mind if you will. I am learning to be fully content with my everything in my life. This is not an easy task because it is very easy to look around and wish for a better situation.

I know for me it seems like I am always looking for something better and I pass over what I already have in my life. Which if I am honest, things are really good. Are they exactly what I want in life? No. But when has life ever given us exactly what we want.

God is in control after all, he places us where he wants us, he deals us a hand of cards so to speak. We can either play those cards to the best of our ability or we can fold. What are you going to do?

I'm going to play the cards I'm dealt.

Maybe you yourself need to learn to be content. Just think about your current situation, put your wants to the side for a second and ask: "Is it really that bad?" I think you will soon find out it is not, and if it is that bad, then some changes need to be made, but I digress.

So instead of looking at the green grass on the other side, take a look around where you are standing and realize that the grass is green where you are. Discontent is no way to live, it will eat you from the inside out.

God is in control, accept it, work with it, enjoy it, ROCK IT! It is pretty sweet to know that God places you exactly where he wants you, there is freedom in that.

So don't worry about what you don't have, but celebrate what you do.
