My entire life, my absolute goal has been to be content. Not over the top happy, not the annoying level of inexplainable joy that some people seem to possess, but just content. To me, it is so important to be happy in the shoes that you are in and be comfortable where you are rooted. That's what being content is really all about.
I've always been happy with my life and I've known that at the end of the day that no matter what happens, it's part of a plan that is much bigger than I am. If I get in a bad situation, get in a fight with a friend, lose someone that I care about... I know that it's part of something that is greater than me. People get removed from our lives, and no matter how bad we want them there, sometimes they don't belong and we have to accept that. God has a much better plan for things than I could ever have, so I know that His plan for me has a perfect ending that I couldn't even choose for myself if I wanted better. Because of this, I've been content.
I have faith that no matter what, the plan will work out. I'm just content where I am because I know my path is going to be great. Even if I don't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, once I get to the end, there is going to be a wonderful finish. Whether it's with my future career, a friendship, my love life, anything.. I'm super excited for all that is going to come and trust that it is going to be great.
So if you ever get in a tough situation, feel bad, and feel like things aren't going your way.. Know that it is okay. It's fine, it's going to work out; just be content where you are and you will be the proud owner of a beautiful life. Think of a good book- there are highs and lows in the middle, but the ending is so good. Think of your life that way and be thankful for where you are.
Be content. Have faith. Trust that things will work out in the best way for you.
