Contentment

Learning the essence of contentment and to accept things as they are, not question too much, only when it is really absolutely necessary and just enjoy the moment is a hard skill and attitude to master. Every day I can feel myself getting better at this however there are times when I slip straight back into that self doubt and question too much and forget to live in the moment. Self sabotage is what I call it.

I guess, though, when you have been through hard times with people and relationships, which leave their scars and demons, this isn't a surprise. Whilst i cannot allow the past to rule the present or the future and i do need to cut myself some slack at times and not be too hard on myself or so self critical. I need to remember that there are many more days in which I do live for the moment and enjoy all that life can offer than those days of self sabotage. Today is a day which could have been easily been one of self sabotage but through choices and help (given unknowingly) it has been a day of living in the moment.

Three beautiful things:

One thing to be grateful for:
the love and friendship of others
