Contentment gratitude

It is good to want more in life and there is more out there for everyone. It is important when you have a roof over your head and food in your belly to use contentment as the foundation for your ambition. I am aware that that might sound like a contradiction, but it stops you feeling down about not having more and enables you to smile; in a way that will attract good luck and help you get to where you want to be. I often see pictures of people on Twitter and Facebook of people looking happy and ocntent with their lot, and extremely confident; and wish that was me. This is dangerous when you are trying to rebuild your confidence. It is only when I share something of what I feel to my wife that she points out what I have to be grateful for. It might appear that the grass is greener in someone elses patch, but you don't know what turmoil and worries they have in your life. My wife has put up with a lot over the last few years, as we have had a struggle. It has been hard to be content; but by counting our blessings we are able to get up and face each day. This has improved our lot and we are determined to provide for our family. So try to be content with where you are instead of trying to be someone else. I am grateful for everyone who takes the time to read this. I love looking at the stats as it gives me a reall boost.
