Despite my usually ranting blogs, I am usually content with the direction my life is heading in and I’m thankful for what I have. I don’t live in what most would consider excess and I generally don’t want more. I may not always be happy, but I am usually content.

In my conversations with others on this topic, I find that the words of the Apostle Paul on contentment being a learned secret ring true. Most people, no matter how hard they try, cannot be content in their circumstances. It’s almost as though contentment goes so against the grain of modern culture that it is a foreign concept in our goal-oriented, always-striving-for-bigger-and-better society.

I saw this clip a few moments ago, and it humorously drove home what I’ve been thinking on this subject for a few weeks. Enjoy!
