We recently met a client who told us that he had reached his goal of being contented.
Thinking about this further leads us to conclude that while we measure success by material things and are constantly seeking the next acquisition, we will never be truly content.
Contentment is a mental or emotional state of satisfaction drawn from being at ease in one’s situation, body and mind.
The dictionary definition is: a state of happiness and satisfaction.
Hebrews 13:5 reads “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have.”
John Stuart Mill, centuries later, would write “I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.”
Magenta is delighted to think that we have played a part in our client’s contentment by ensuring his financial security and helping him and his family to live their lives as they wish.
If you would like to feel more contented please feel free to call for a confidential chat.
