…for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

In today’s fast paced society; contentment has a negative connotation of just settling, not striving for anything or not pushing forwards. It’s even seen as lazy.

The definition of the word content is a state of peaceful happiness.

How would you prefer to live; chasing, running, go getting, busy, on the go all the time or… in a peaceful state of happiness? It’s actually your choice to pump the breaks, slow down, relax, enjoy life, take things in your stride, let go and let God. Or indeed you can keep running until you burnout, without a true sense of purpose.

Take steps towards contentment today, it really starts in your mind and spirit, then the fruit appears in your life.
