If I had to choose just one overarching quality or attitude toward life to have and to hold as the constant practice most beneficial to having a great life experience it would be – contentment. I have written in previous posts about contentment, proposing that contentment is found in a choice we make based on an accurate understanding of God’s goodness, sovereignty, and plan for us, rather than a group of circumstances that occur at a given time. Contentment, or the lack thereof is a constant choice we make as we perceive what we believe to be reality about our sufficient state in life moment by moment. You and I choose contentment – or not. When we choose not we are by definition discontent. Discontented people are not happy people, they can’t be.
