    About this ebook

    Before we can fully embrace contentment, we must first understand what it means. Contentment is the state of being satisfied and at peace with what we have and who we are. It is not about settling for less or giving up on our dreams and aspirations. Rather, it is about finding joy and fulfillment in the present moment, while still working towards our goals.

    Contentment is not a passive state, but an active choice. It requires us to shift our focus from what we lack to what we already have. It is about appreciating the simple things in life and finding joy in the little moments. Contentment is not about denying our desires, but rather, learning to be grateful for what we have while still striving for growth and improvement.

     Happiness is something that we all strive for in life. We spend our days chasing after it, hoping to find it in our relationships, careers, possessions, and experiences. We believe that once we achieve certain goals or acquire certain things, we will finally be happy.

    But the truth is, happiness is not a destination that we can reach. It is a state of mind that we can cultivate within ourselves. In our fast-paced and materialistic society, the concept of contentment is often overlooked.

     But what if I told you that the key to true happiness lies in contentment? That by learning to be content with what we have, we can unlock a sense of peace and fulfillment that cannot be found in material possessions or external achievements. This may sound counterintuitive, but the truth is, contentment is a powerful and essential ingredient in living a happy and fulfilling life. 

    So, how can we cultivate contentment in our lives? The first step is to practice gratitude. Take a moment each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for, no matter how small they may seem. This will help shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life.

    Next, learn to let go of comparison and envy. Understand that everyone's journey is different, and what may bring happiness to someone else may not necessarily bring happiness to you. Focus on your own journey and be content with where you are.

     Finally, practice mindfulness and living in the present moment. Often, our minds are so focused on the future or the past that we forget to appreciate the present. By being mindful and fully present in the moment, we can find joy and contentment in the little things.

    Learn how to do this and more within the pages of this book.

      Life Of Contentment - david holman

      Introduction

      We all want to be satisfied, even though we know some people who will never be that way, and others who see satisfaction as a foreign emotion that they can’t hope to ever feel. However, whenever it comes to being content and living a life free from want and worry, it’s actually much easier to do so that you think. Even though our wants and desires are physical, the life of contentment we seek starts in our minds.

      By using strategies such as taming our inner critic who always seems to push us towards lack, to learning to love yourself by controlling what goes in your heads and hearts, there are a wide variety of mental strategies that can help you become more content, and be satisfied with where you are.

      Now, this does bear repeating as it is one of the main themes of the book: Satisfaction does not equal stagnation, and it is perfectly healthy to be content, and still have the desire and the means for growth. But you can never build abundance out of lack and discomfort, so in order to properly grow, we need to reach the middle ground of being satisfied with where we are. 

      Along the way, this book contains exercises and examples to help get you into a life of contentment, so you can start living that style of life right away without any issues. If you keep an open mind and understand what this book is trying to tell you, then you will be 100% ready to become more content, regardless of what your situation might be.

      Chapter One: Understand Satisfaction Is A Mindset

      Have you ever met someone with an insane desire to succeed with something? They might strive to get perfect grades in every single class, might want to get a perfect body, or go on dozens upon dozens of dates just to find ‘the one.’ These people seem to have it all, and yet for every victory they gain, they want to climb another mountain. For every step forward their feet take, their minds are already three steps ahead into the future.

      You also might have met people who aren’t growing, but still have a desire. They want the dream body, the amazing grades, the perfect romance, and if the world would just give it to them they could make the most of it! These are the people who want to be satisfied and want their lives to improve, as long as someone else does the work for them and simply hands them the result. They live ten steps in the future while their feet haven’t moved an inch.

      Still you probably have met people with no desire to succeed more than they already have. They have their life and while it might not be perfect or everything the world tells us we should

      want, it’s good enough. They might strive for small goals or want to make tiny improvements, but they really don’t care either way. If things go well, then they go well, and if things dip a bit, then they are just thankful the pendulum didn’t swing too far in the wrong direction.

      All three of these types of people have one thing in common driving how they behave in life. It isn’t wealth, education, opportunity, their home life, or the hand
