About this Quote

This quote by Sivananda speaks with the concept that true happiness comes from contentment. He suggests that the limitless pursuit of product ownerships and experiences will never lead to true happiness, which satisfaction is the only method to attain it. He motivates us to obtain satisfaction, which can be done by learning to value what we have and to be grateful for it. Contentment is not about having the most or the best, but rather about being pleased with what we have. It has to do with discovering to be content with our lives and to be content with ourselves. It has to do with discovering to accept our circumstances and to be content with our existing situation. Contentment is a mindset that can be cultivated through mindfulness and appreciation. It is a lifestyle that can bring us true and lasting joy.
