Contentment

A good reminder for a Monday morning... at least, I know I needed it.

Allow yourself to complain of nothing, not even of the weather.
Never picture yourself to yourself under any circumstances in which you are not.
Never compare your own lot with that of another.
Never allow yourself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise than it was, or is. God Almighty loves you better and more wisely than you do yourself.
Never dwell on the morrow. Remember that it is God's, not yours. The heaviest part of sorrow often is to look forward to it. 'The Lord will provide.'
~E. B. Pusey

Contentment - happiness with one's situation in life. Never forget this does not rule out hope for the future. Contentment is not to make you so focused on today that you don't have hopes and dreams. Both are necessary.
