“There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.”-- Indian proverb
But does the human heart ever find it? We look for it, elusive and undefined, in almost every nook and cranny of our lives.
If contentment means being happy with what we have, does it mean we have to be ambitionless to be content?
Qoute of the Day:
True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander.

It's a great picture, but the added quotation even makes it more so.
My WATERY WEDNESDAY...do stop by if you get a chance.
We think a like on the quotations you shared. Life is what we make it.
That quote is something to think about and what a nice scene. I love the tip of the boat and the thatched picnic area...it's SO my kind of place!
aquire contentment. I like that. A lot. Thanks!
beautiful contrast.
the quote is quite true. true contentment is possible when we start to appreciate and grateful with what we have.
i am content when i recognize that God and what He chooses to provide at this moment,
is all i need. :)
God bless!
does it mean we have to be ambitionless to be content?
No. Contentment is about the present. Ambition is about the future. You can be content (but not complacent) with your current circumstance, but still continuously work on self-improvement.
Cheers!

A beautiful image and a great topic for discussion. I like the quotation from Colton too. Personally, I've always seen contentment as a choice — we choose whether we will be content or not.
Beautiful words coupled with a beautiful scenery.
