They say that the people who are constantly striving to be happy are, ironically, less happy. I’m not saying we should accept things in our life that we don’t like, I’m not saying we need to lower our standards, I’m saying we need to practice appreciation of what is, to appreciate when our needs are satisfied, to realize our enoughness and completeness just as we are so we can receive that bounty of pleasure that comes from appreciation of the present.

Striving to change your life so you can feel happy, invalidates the life you have currently. And even if you want to change it, even if it’s not everything you’d hoped it would be, there’s still beauty in it. And it’s just there, for you to enjoy and delight in. My invitation is for you to delight in it. 

My case for contentment is not that you stop trying to grow and evolve, but so that you experience the pleasure that comes from knowing the beauty and enoughness of what already is.
