The Universe Is Smiling: "Contentment"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Contentment brings peace of mind.

"We tend to forget that contentment doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."

- Friedrich Koenig

"... Restlessness ... is always a sign of not finding joy in what's here. ... That's what restlessness is, going around looking for something else to do, something else to think about, somewhere else to go - anywhere but here and now. ... Contentment is the opposite of a faultfinding mind. .... Contentment looks for what is right, and it can keep you still. But restlessness will always make you a slave. ... That tyrant is the faultfinding mind. Subdue this tyrant through contentment. ..."

"Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond" by Ajahn Brahm, pp.43-45
