Contentment

It’s been a while since I have shared my thoughts. It's so strange that you don't have as many  thoughts or learning you would have liked, once things are back on track. True adversity is the best teacher.     

 So, in a nutshell-Life has been just fine.

There was a time when waking up in the morning was a task- a phase that I don't recognise myself with.  Back then, many times I would have wished for a day when I didn't wake up with a feeling of restlessness, insecurity and with the same thought-where is this all leading to. Now, I am just grateful for whatever I have. Funny, isn't it? For those who know me, will think that how can I be content since I have not achieved any huge feet. In today's world we call it "Achievement".

Isn't it all overrated? The other day I was having this conversation with someone (let’s call them xxxxx), now xxxx feels that he would be happy only once his package hits the 9-digit number. He then asked me what I think, I said I am just happy that now I can have a proper sleep. That’s my achievement and contentment. 

Shouldn't we all strive for contentment rather than achievement?

I had this checklist- the things I would do once I clear CA (Chartered Accountancy exams). But all I can manage to do now is sleep, somehow, I feel I am making up for all those nights where I lay worried about the future.

More than my body, it’s my mind which is at ease. I am just grateful for not having to wake up at night with anxiety.

It feels really good to be content.
