0012: Divine Discontentment: Finding Happiness, Satisfaction, and Contentment

[shareaholic app=”follow_buttons” id=”26150071″]

Are you content with your life just the way it is? What does it mean to be content? The definition of contentment is the state of being happy and satisfied. Discontent would then be unhappy and unsatisfied. It’s not really black and white though. We never are really content or completely discontent. Certainly, we can be content in some areas and discontent in other areas simultaneously. Rather than buying into the concept of contentment, we’re going to consider an alternate viewpoint. What if contentment is the trap? Freedom lies in our discontent … or what I like to refer to as Divine Discontent.

In this episode, you will:

  • Learn what it means to be divinely discontent
  • Consider what’s missing in their lives that would result in more happiness
  • Appreciate the good in their lives and think about how to grow, improve, and expand those positive aspects
