The Secret of Contentment

The secret of contentment is knowing how to enjoy what you have, and to be able to lose all desire for things beyond your reach.

For particular types of happiness to be achieved, there are choices to be made that require an amount of sacrifice sometimes.

And we will just have to live with it, suck it in and learn to live without the things we give up unwillingly.

Hopefully we will be a better and stronger person.

Hopefully we will in time, come to terms with letting go of yearning for something that will never be within our grasp.

And hopefully we will not be welcoming each day with our heads down, exhaling a heavy sigh.

 

Happy Leap Year Day everyone.
