Day 10 — Living Contentment

When we speak of spiritual contentment, we mean more than just feeling satisfied with the circumstances of life. Too often that kind of contentment includes a tinge of resignation as well. Real contentment is the happiness that at your core, all is well in your world. In this state, you are aware that you have everything you need right now to feel good about yourself, others, and life. Even with outer conflicts and uncertainties, your core existence is settled, self-contained, and you know you possess whatever is needed to meet any situation. Living true contentment is more than confidence, it is the feeling of inner fulfillment.

In our meditation today we will activate this sense of fulfillment to bring spiritual contentment into our hearts and our heads.

Our centering thought for today is:

I am content, just as I am.

"I think we should be working for contentment . . . an inner sense of fulfillment that's relatively independent of external circumstances."  —Andrew Weil
