Contentment: The Peace of Not Wanting What You Don’t Have
2011-10-20 Contentment: The Peace of Not Wanting What You Don’t Have 67:04
James Baraz
The experience of contentment is the true happiness available through letting go and seeing our experience complete just as it is. Nothing needs to be added or taken away. This talk explores inner contentment, the state of “abundant enoughness”, while distinguishing it from complacency, laziness or just being resigned to the way things are. We can be inspired by a vision of awakening, develop our gifts and make a contribution, while we appreciate things just as they are in the moment.
