Achievement Versus Contentment
In the era of fast-paced lifestyles
The need to achieve things is
at loggerheads with the need for contentment
Timelines and busy schedules
are an ever present reality with a truckload of devastating consequences
Rest, Reflection and Silence
are all relegated to after hours and the extremely rare vacations
This is a recipe for disaster
in the sphere of contentment and self-awareness
The postmodern world is
churning out more problems than fundamental solutions to the spiritual human equation
Individualism, competition
and material overachiement are the key drivers of discontent and mental health
disorders
Life is a spiritual journey
with lots of opportunities to self-realization
A smile is a packet of
positive energy
Laughter is a potent dose of
happiness
Rest is not only a path to
contentment, it's a powerful explosion of Silence leading to a higher state of
consciousness
It's the fruits of the spirit
that give rise to contentment
Kindness, humility,
compassion, peace, hope and Love
Are all ingredients of
happiness and contentment
Now, the need for material
achievements should not trample on our fundamental human need for peace, joy,
happiness and Love
It's imperative for us all to
wake up to this reality
This is the illuminated path
of awareness that leads to spiritual awakening and enlightenment
In the realm of the spirit,
to achieve is to find harmony in yourself, others and your environment
Unconditional Love is the
highest form of awareness, achievement and contentment
