i have been learning something about contentment.
it is easy to feel content when one is in a place where he or she feels like they have "arrived", like they have reached a place he or she wants to be. they've got the right friends, the right job, live in the right place, whatever.
i am not in this place.
haha oh no, farrrr from it. after graduation i made the decision to move back to medicine hat; long story short, i have questioned many times in the past months, why oh why did i ever do that??? i suppose though, however much i question it is rather pointless, i am here now and like it or not, here is where i must remain for the time being.
it is then out of this that i have been learning about the importance of being content with whatever it is i have at the moment. this does not mean i resign myself to the idea that well, i guess this is it for me...oh well *sigh*; of course i am still working toward the "bigger and better", so to speak. it simply means that i must make the most of what i've got right now. and, i believe, if i strive for contentment even when i perceive my circumstances to suck, it will actually prepare and stretch me to the point where i'm ready for the next step upward. theoretically.
