As 2020 quickly approaches, it's a good time to consider what we want in the coming year. Few of us are truly present and happy with our lives the way they are, so being content might be a worthy goal to have for the new year. Contented people are satisfied and accept their lives just the way they are. Acceptance, surrender, and flow create a space for grace to enter. A contented life is not dependent on circumstance or our emotional highs and lows. When we remain open and stay in the flow regardless of what is going on in our lives, in time we will see the bigger picture unfolding. A contented life requires courage because when our hearts are open, they can hold our brokenness and our joyfulness at the same time. Contented people embrace life with wonder and they are grateful for each experience that crosses their path.
