Finding Contentment in Where you Are

We all struggle with wanting things to be different sometimes, and I found these nuggets of wisdom to be so helpful when we're in that place.  Here are a few uplifting insights from Shannon Kaiser's article: "18 Signs You're Exactly Where You Should Be in Life (Even If It Doesn't Feel Like It):" 

• You often celebrate how far you’ve come instead of focusing on how far you still need to go.
• You've let go of trying to find your purpose and instead live each day on purpose.
• You treat yourself kindly with compassion and respect.
• You know that difficult roads lead to divine destinations.
• You prioritize your health and your own happiness.  You realize that nothing else can work right unless you do.

​Listening to a teleseminar this week, one of the participants commented that she felt really behind.  The moderator noted that feeling stems from a Western mindset which creates anxiety, urgency and even a sense of panic.  An Eastern approach is that we are where we need to be: we learn and grow at the pace that is right for us.  We can shift from feeling behind & focusing of how far we still need to go to celebrating how much we have done and transformed.  How will you celebrate where you are?
