Our Lady of Contentment by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss\/Self-Help Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Learning to be content with where you are, what you are doing, what you have, who you are with and who you are is no easy task. \u00a0Yet, it is a task worth doing; a task that can create tremendous change.<\/p>\n

Because, when you accept who you are, when you stop criticizing yourself, when you let go of your insecurities, you clear a space for happiness, for contentment.<\/p>\n

The key to contentment is developing the right mindset.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need to wait until you\u2019ve lost those extra pounds, until you made that extra money, or have increased your home\u2019s square footage, or until you’ve had children or grandchildren; you can be happy right now, in this very moment.<\/p>\n

You can be happy without any external changes or cues.<\/p>\n

Here, 10 #Contentment Quotes<\/strong> to move your mind in the right direction!<\/p>\n

It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it. ~ Dale Carnegie<\/p>\n

For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<\/p>\n

We need much less than we think we need. ~ Maya Angelou<\/p>\n

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. ~ Laozi<\/p>\n

Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re real quite lucky. ~ Dr. Seuss<\/p>\n

We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without. ~ Immanuel Kant<\/p>\n

Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness. ~ Pearl S. Buck<\/p>\n

We’re all golden sunflowers inside. ~ Allen Ginsberg<\/p>\n

Some men fish all their lives without knowing it is not really the fish they are after.\u00a0 ~ Henry David Thoreau<\/p>\n

Be like the flower, content with its nature. ~ Seth D.<\/p>\n
