How Contentment Serves the Soul: A Quiet Reflection on Inner Peace

I have a question: How does contentment serve you?

For me, it serves as spiritual satisfaction in any given area (or all areas) of my life. As I gradually learn to embrace contentment and become hungry for growth, this silent companion replaces calamity with calm.

However (comma), whenever I feel contentment, I must remain starved for expansion. Why? Because the longer I hold its hand, time can and will threaten me with spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical stagnation. Day by day, cultivating contentment like a potted plant encourages self-awareness and flourishment — moments of silence with Self are sacred while distractions or outside opinion are nonexistent.

To further elaborate, contentment is discovered in solitude when an overwhelming feeling of “it is well with my soul” appears.

For this experience, I am grateful.

So, how is contentment serving you today?

Until next time ... Joyous Journey.
