When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes -- I already have everything that I really need.'
~The Dalai Lama
My ultimate goal, besides raising happy children is to be content with what I have and understanding the difference between needs and wants. It's been a huge mountain to climb, but I'm climbing it. However slow it might be. I am impulsive and so imperfect. And seriously in need of this in my life. Contentment is achievable, it's just at the top of a steep climb.
