Is The Grass Really Greener On The Other Side???

"I know what it is to be in need, I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." Phillipians 4:12

We always want more than what we have. Always. By nature, we are not built to be content with what we have. There are only those split seconds in life, in which we are content with our life. Only in that split second. Now I'm not talking about being content with a particular situation nor am I referring to being satisfied with a certain person. I'm talking about being 99.9% (b/c nothing can ever be 100%) content with EVERYTHING in your life...at one time. Doesn't come around too often does it? As you can see, I did not use the word happy or pleased because happiness and contentment are not one in the same. Learning to be content with one's own life situations can bring about a peace to one's soul that trumps any discord that life's circumstances may bring. Let me be very clear, I am not saying be content with mediocrity or the lesser thereof. But I am saying be content with the hand that you have been dealt until you and your God create an atmosphere in which you can change it. I'm smart enough to know that I probably couldn't handle being a multi-millionaire right now. I'm not ready. Spiritually nor emotionally. And if there is one thing that I know to be true is that when you get something before you're ready for it, you will mess it up. Whether it be a relationship, money, fame, whatever... That's why I am content riding around the state of Texas in the Honda Boy. Me and my muzik. I can not have a dime in my pocket and have a smile on my face because I have a calmness in my spirit that surpasses possessing any material thing in this world. When your equilibrium is off, nothing in this world matters. Not the cars, the clothes, nor the clubs or the rest of the shallow things that entice our brains. All that matters is a peace of mind and a calmness of the spirit. I'm content in my soul with all that I have been blessed with. But there is undoubtedly a struggle on the inside that ensues when your mind wants something that your heart and soul are not ready for. All I'm saying Motivation family is we all want better for ourselves. We want more things that are better than the things we already have. We want to see more places that are more scenic than the places we've already seen. We want the type of money that can fly friends out on an all expense paid trip for the weekend just because its the weekend. But the grass isn't always greener on the other side, especially if you don't have the money to cover the water bill during your life's recession.

It's called self MOTIVATION...if you don't do it, don't be mad when somebody else does. Holla family. Until tomorrow...be easy.
