Contentment.

 "Santosha invites us into contentment by taking refuge in a calm center, opening our hearts in gratitude for what we do have, and practicing the paradox of 'not seeking' ".-Deborah Adele.

I think understanding how contentment allows us to feel whole and complete, makes all the difference in how we think and process the world around us. When we feel like we don't have enough or aren't enough of a particular quality, that ultimately means we set some serious EXPECTATIONS on ourselves. It's important to have goals, standards and dreams. But setting expectations of yourself that only goddesses and gods can reach, can only lead to disappointment. Contentment for me, is taking away those heaven reaching expectations and redirecting my FOCUS to what I have within that will provide me with the ability to succeed and be happy.

LET GO of expectations and BE CONTENT with who you are and what you have in the PRESENT MOMENT. And remember, you are exactly who and where you are supposed to be right now.
