"He who is contented is rich.’ ~Lao Tzu
By Leo Babauta
One of the most important things I’ve learned in the last 7 years has been how to find contentment.
It’s been a long journey, but I’ve enjoyed it. I struggled with feeling bad about my body, feeling insecure about myself, doubting my abilities to make it without an employer, doubting myself as a writer, not believing I had discipline or the ability to change my habits.

Wow - powerful stuff, and so simple at the same time! thanks for sharing Terea. I particularly liked the Action Steps - they just make sense!
I'd recommend anyone reading this to download it - it doesn't take long to read, and I do think even if you feel you are contented, some of the content will help you become more so.
