A feeling of Contentment

by Tanya

What do you mean by Contentment? something which we aren't usually in our daily lives, To be content is to be satisfied and happy with your present life situations, and your decisions, Why it's necessary? or we can also raise a question that is it even necessary?

Well, that's subjective, it differs from person to person, What about you? Do you feel satisfied with your life? Do you think it's something that comes externally?

“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.” ―Lao Tzu

Yes, It has been a fact that we people always try to seek extrinsic motivation, always hope that a superlative degree, whom we usually term as 'God' which may or may not exist on earth. Well, to be honest, even I am not an Atheist, I sometimes doubt but when I feel helpless or in need, I always try to do the same thing which other people in my surroundings do.

"YOU" are Happiness. Nobody has to go outside and seek happiness in other people. It's within ourselves. We have to just dig deep enough in ourselves, be thankful about the things which we have been served to us as a privilege, You should feel satisfied with the things you have in life, having a working body, functional organs, financial stability, the showering love given to us by our parents, these all things contribute to the well being of your life. YOU have everything which you need to feel content.
