Hi ladies. I struggle very much with being happy with what I have and where I am in life. I try to remind myself that Jesus is my savior and we are not of this world, so I should remember I am constantly WINNING regardless of what is going on on earth.
It's easier said than done though. Even though my life is 100 times better right now than it has been in over 10 years, I find myself easily falling into the trap of feeling discontent and sometimes even unhappy. I find myself coveting things other people have to the point of downright envy and not in a good way. I am usually able to fight these feelings but sometimes it is hard. I capitalize on my thirst to change the things I can and achieve what I would like, but there will always be more to achieve no matter how good life gets and there will always be things beyond my control.
What do you do to try and stay grounded and grateful? I CHOOSE to act that way but I struggle sometimes with making my feelings follow suit.
