A Simple Definition Of Contentment
If one was asked to define contentment, how would one do the same? A very simple
and easy to understand, definition of contentment, is:
“At the present moment:
* wherever you are is wherever you are meant to be,
* whatever you are doing is whatever you are meant to be doing and
* whatever everyone else is doing is what they are meant to be doing.”
To experience constant contentment, we need to become aware of all the things that
make us discontent (dissatisfied) and free ourselves from those things (ideas, opinions,
objects, people). We don’t have to reject them or distance ourselves from them,
but a detachment from them, a detachment at the level of the consciousness that
will bring back our inner freedom. Detachment is then accompanied by the experience
of a deep, inner awareness of satisfaction and stillness, because you stop being
dependent on anything or anyone outside ourselves.
It is highly unlikely that we will arrive at this deep state of fulfillment very
soon - though we may touch it and experience it temporarily. It is only by understanding
and accepting completely that everything is the way it is meant to be at every moment,
both outside our minds and inside our minds that we move closer to being content.

Message for the day 04-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Even the most difficult task is made easy with the cooperation of all.
Projection: When given a responsibility we usually think of doing it alone.
We usually feel it is much easier not to involve many. We do this in order to avoid
the different kinds of personalities that we have to deal with.
Solution: When involved in a big task, we need to see to it that we involve
many. When we involve many and make sure we make use of their specialities even
the most difficult task will be made easy. Secondly, the good wishes of all involved
will be for the task which will add to its success.
