Discontent


If you blame your discontent on others, that will just make it
grow bigger and more burdensome. Choose instead to embrace and to own
that discontent fully, and you can make it go away.

There can be all sorts of reasons why you’re unhappy with life. Yet it
is not those reasons that matter, but rather what you’re willing to
think, to feel and to do.

When you accept that your discontent is yours and yours alone, you can
quickly get beyond it. And though you may not be able to immediately
change the outer conditions, you can instantly change your inner
perspective.

What can weigh you down is not what has happened, but how you have
chosen to respond. Choose to let go of the discontent, and free yourself
to grab hold of the most positive possibilities.

Whether the situation is your fault or not, doesn’t really matter now.
Your best strategy is to be sincerely thankful for where you are, and to
move quickly in the direction of where you wish to be.

Life can be tough on you, but you don’t have to be so tough on yourself.
Let go of your discontent, and let yourself soar to new, fulfilling
heights.
