Contentment’s Wealth

He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and he is richer who is generous with what he has.

— James Allen, "As a Man Thinketh" —

 

Reflection

In his quote, Allen describes a poverty that has nothing to do with empty pockets.

There is a poverty that has nothing to do with empty pockets. James Allen understood this.

Dissatisfaction can hollow out even a full life, while contentment can make a simple one feel abundant.

Perhaps the deepest riches are found not in acquiring, but in releasing… by living with our hands open (giving) instead of closed (holding on).

Soul Search

What might it look like today to hold your time, talent, and treasure more loosely and share it freely?


“I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” — Philippians 4:11 (KJV)
