Being Content

I became a mother at the age of twenty-three I will say the day I became a mother was the day my life changed for the better. I grew internally I felt this strong feeling of contentment in my spirit most would describe it as maturing but it is possible to be mature and not content at the same time. I was always a little more advance mentally than my age, but this feeling was very new and the more I embraced it the more I began to fall in love with the simple things in life. I do believe that there are multiple stages that we all go through before we learn to understand who we are and our true purpose in life.  The beauty about life is that it does not matter how long you believe it will take to get there, understand that nothing can ever happen before time. Our duty is to our heart learning that through every experience to always allow your heart to guide you do only what you love and what makes you happy first.

Being content does not mean that you lack determination or having goals for your life it simply means you have grown to a place where you are aware that you are all that you need and that everything outside of ourselves are just accessories and not a necessity. In the past whenever, holidays or my birthday was near I always felt like I had to have a list of things I needed that would make me happy for the moment and I just had to have them.  Today I find myself drawing a blank every time I am asked what I would like to have, I say this humbly in my heart if I was to ask for some extravagant gift It would be inauthentic.  My only request is time, to invest more time with the people I love engaging in laughter and play fills me with so much joy I cannot think of any gift that can be better than that.  The greatest gift for me was the blessing to become a mother experiencing a healthy and happy pregnancy the more I dwell on how grateful I am for these simple but magical and irreplaceable moments in my life the less I want.  The only thing I truly desire is seeing my purpose bless and inspire a lot of lives, if I touch one person each day that is all I need to keep living in my purpose that God has blessed me with.

““Having An Attitude That Says I Will Be Satisfied With What God Has Given Me , Is Being content .””

I share this to say our life can be as peaceful as we make it to be by losing the spirit of needing to have everything when you already have what you need within, the simple things become more, and we are able to be present and grateful at all time. life will take you for a ride just to reveal your strength and what really matters our job is to go through each storm coming out with a lesson and a blessing. The more we focus on growing internally, we learn to love and appreciate who we are and the more present we are power to align ourselves with our internal source.  I encourage everyone to take a second to do review your life to   get present to how far you have come, all that you have endured, overcame, and get clear with how much all those things led you right where you are today. Think about how to live without allowing your past struggles to be in vain, focus on being happy and grateful for everything, everyone it is all a part of our self-journey to becoming the best version of yourself. When you are content and in love with who you are and the power you have inside, life becomes fun simple and magical try not to complicate it, by seeking validation and happiness instead of choosing happiness today right where you are.
