Be content not stagnant

Good afternoon guys and a happy Sunday to you. How are you doing today? I trust that you're having a great day.

Let's quickly go through yesterday's article.

Have you ever thought of what people say of you in your absence? Do you ever wonder and ask yourself of what other people think about you? Do you ever ask yourself the question of how others see you?

A person's reputation is simply his or her legacy. The way others will address you is just a representation of the good or bad things that they've heard others speak about you. Your reputation is the result of everything that you have done, both good and bad, all of your actions.

You're never fully absent. People will always talk about you when you're absent. They will talk about whatever they think know of you and have seen you act, and this is very dependent on your behavior when you were present. What matters in your absence, is what people say of you.

Good words are always said about someone that has behaved himself well. They are automatically respected by others because of the attitude they had when they were present. The choice to be positive in every way is yours to make. You should know that Plpeople will talk positively about you or negatively about you based on your attitude when you're not around.

I know you've heard this quote “Never judge a book by it’s cover”, well never judge anyone by the way they look but also they say first impression is always last and this is very true. Who you are when you're absent is determined by what people say and this determines how others will address you. When someone asks about you from others, what will those people say about you? What they'll say is dependent on your behavior when you were present. Always make sure you leave a good remark of yourself so that people will remember you for good at all times.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

Let's move to today's article now.

Contentment is a great gain!

What makes contentment great is that it is a gift, not an achievement. No matter how much or how little we have, contentment will always be there. It's not about having more. Contentment does not come from how much we are able to do in this life and even less from how much we are able to accumulate.

Contentment is great gain. Whenever we lose the ability to be content, we become covetous and this can lead us to do many unimaginable things.

I am not saying that we should be stagnant and be okay with being where we are in the next year. We should strive to make sure our lives improve. And in this we must be content still.

The fact that we must also be content with our present condition is what makes it so difficult to achieve this stage. Because sometimes, for reasons beyond out control, our lives will not improve in the way we want to. And this can make it harder for us to accept what is and be content with it.

But never forget that everything happens precisely the way it is supposed to happen. A good life just means that you are living at the precise time and place where you are supposed to be.

To live a good life, we should constantly remind ourselves of this fact.

Contentment is great gain. Being content means to be happy with whatever you have without being jealous or covetous of another man's own. We need to be content with whatever we have. Whenever we lose the ability to be content, we become covetous and this can lead us to do many unimaginable things.

The problem with being discontent is that it limits our capacity for living well. We cannot be happy if we are constantly vying for things we don't have or if we're comparing ourselves to others.

Thanks for reading through. Have a great day.
