As
the current summer is nicely unfolding, I took a bit of time to reflect on how
much life and people have changed lately, given the most recent ‘saga’ the
entire world was going through, and the concept of contentment (in its full complexity) was emerging like
never before, emphasizing that in fact it is not so important how much and what
you have, but rather how do you relate to what you have. You can have a lot and
still be in need of that little “something” in order to reach happiness.
Or,
you can deliberately choose to enjoy every single thing you have, and when you
perceive life this way, shortly you realize that you have a lot.
On the other hand, noticing with satisfaction the joy of the long summer days,
or that the sky is unfathomably blue, while observing that the
sun is not a second late in meeting the sunrise, without any doubt your heart
will be overwhelmed by the surrounding beauty of nature. Yes…observe, give thanks and enjoy!
It is believed by many that “thankfulness precedes a miracle”. Our elders used to consider that contentment (gratitude) is the most inexpensive medicine for maintaining a good health, a glowing inner beauty and sound relationships. Yes, relationships! You all know that in life, disgruntled and grumpy people are always avoided, so it is much wiser to choose to be on the side of the grateful and the content ones! Yes, it is a choice and it is entirely yours!
