Contentment

How many times have we wondered what if I am a rich man/woman?

....What will I be?
.....What will I do differently?
......where will I go for my holidays?
.......What car will I be driving or be driven?
........How my day will be like?
.........The questions and list goes on and on......

But then, when I really sit down and think about it, I am just pretty happy that I do not have to worry about my finance, my livelihood, my bills, and most importantly the well-being of my family members. And that, sometimes equate to the Big Word called Contentment. I realized by not aggressively and relentlessly chasing a dream that is base on my own self-centeredness, and greed are just killing me emotionally, physically, mentally and most of all, spiritually.

Perhaps this is a way to escape responsibilities or its being mediocre but what all of us chase for in life is none other to be affirm, to be trusted, to be understood and most importantly to be loved. And by fulfilling that, that is what we all seek for....to be contended or CONTENTMENT.
