“The Importance of Being Content”

I’ve noticed when you start to just feel content with your life, you free yourself from the exhausting chase towards external gratification and proving yourself to the world that you can achieve certain things. You start focusing on things that actually matter and things that make you happy. The cosmic joke is once you stop caring about pursuing those things you felt you really needed to be happy, they fall into your lap in one form or another. Or you can look from retrospect and see that if you were to get that thing that you thought you wanted, you wouldn’t have been as happy as you are now.

You’re on the right path.
