CONTENTMENT – – – TO ACHIEVE ? – – – OR – – – TO BE ?

Accomplishment may give satisfaction, but it takes more to experience contentment.

When we achieve, and reach a goal of completing something, we feel good, for awhile.

Then we must find something more to do if we are to feel good again.

Getting something done, getting paid, getting stuff, getting happy—it has to be repeated.

 

So how do we get contentment—or do we just experience contentment when it happens?

“Food + Clothes = Contentment”  —–His Book

“Godliness + Contentment = Great Gain (Success)”  —–His Book

Therefore,

Godliness + Food + Clothes = Success

“I have learned in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.”  —–His Book

 

So, you can’t “achieve contentment”—you can only “be content.”

But we can “learn . . . to be content.”
