Join me on this new podcast as I talk about the difference of contentment and happiness. Sometimes we can think they're one in the same but the reality is that they're very different. In the world today happiness can be arguably based on external conditions whereas contentment comes from our relationship to what is going on around us, rather than our reaction to it. It is the peaceful realization that we are whole and complete just as we are, despite the anger, sadness, joy, frustration, and excitement that may come in and out from time to time.
