I have forcefully chased various conditions, in the hopes that one of them would eventually lead to contentment. But after I grew exhausted with this approach (I’m still active, but I now recognize that being demanding/tyrannical of reality often falls short, even when I happen to elicit success), I decided I didn’t want to chase things anymore, and that’s when contentment found me.

It had been there all along, patiently waiting.

    1. I usually waste all my surplus when I feel discontent at watching whoever has to go home on the Great British Bakeoff. 🤣
