Contentment
Don’t let comparison steal your contentment.
Figure out how much is enough.
How many ________ make you happy.
Which things matter.
At what point does more become just too much?
Too much to maintain, clean, store, keep track of,
make payments on, stumble over?
Someone else will always have more, or bigger or nicer.
And someone else will have less, smaller or a bit shabbier.
Learn to be content with what is comfortable for you.
Relax in knowing that the things you own are just the right ones for you.
Look around the room.
What could you let go right now?
What’s making your life messy or cramped or
is no longer useful or necessary?
The only comparison should be where you now
to where your heart wants you to be.
What small move can you make in that direction?
