Contentment

Be thankful for what you have, rejoice in the way things are; and you will end up owning the entire world. Most of the times, people concentrate on the lives others are living, rather than focusing on what they can do to make things right for them. 

Never envy others, love your work, and remember that, when one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we took so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened up for us.

Here are some of the things that one can do to live a contentment life:

1. First take a step back and think about what's important to you. What do you really want to be doing? Who do you want to spend your time with? 

2. Examine your commitment - our lives are too full and we cannot possibly do everything we have committed to. This, accept that you cannot do everything, know that you want what is important to you and try to eliminate the commitments that are not as important. 

3. Do less each day - do not try to overload your day with work, and this will give you time to do what you need to do and not rush. 

4. Eliminate stress - try to find ways to eliminate the stressors you encounter daily.
