Contentment

“happiness and satisfaction, often because you have everything you need”

In our western culture, we are incessantly bombarded by ads and promotions that proclaim that we NEED their offering…that we won’t be happy or satisfied unless we have these offerings. Do we ever just stop to honestly assess our situation? Do we really NEED even half of the stuff we have or want?

What this really comes down to is can we be happy and satisfied with what we have right now? Can we be happy and satisfied with WHO we are right now…that we are enough—right now—just as we are? Can we be happy and satisfied with WHO we are while we’re on our way to where we want to be? That right now, we’re at point A, heading towards point B…can we be okay that we’re somewhere in between?

In other words, can we be happy and satisfied to just be?

How about you? Is contentment a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
