Contentment

At the top of the blog, in the blog header, with much time, consideration and polishing over the years, the succinct definition of what it means to live simply luxuriously is shared – the art of living a life of quality over quantity – and with each post, in a variety of different areas of our lives, I do my best to share with you how to cultivate true contentment which is living a life of quality over quantity.

The “quality’ speaks to the depth of experience, meaning, feeling, purpose, connection (with others and ourselves) and clarity along with so many other core components that contribute to living well in our everydays, and it is the letting go of the idea of more, thus choosing to subtract and let go that is a skill so powerful, its contradiction of loss in order to gain boggles the nascent mind and challenges us and our approach to living if we have heretofore equated more with good and less with bad.

As the core principle of what living simply luxuriously is is True Contentment, I knew I needed to create a specific Contentment category.

As shared on the home page of this blog and in October 16th entry of The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment, true contentment allows us to live peacefully in our everydays no matter what the day’s events, our emotions (negative or positive) or world news. Cultivating contentment provides stability of the mind as we engage with love, openness, presence, and kindness to others and ourselves. And as this is a concept often errantly conflated with Happiness, I wanted to create a category that specifically included posts to explore in-depth this topic. To know true contentment, to strive for it, and now to exercise the key skills to maintain it in my everydays has changed my life profoundly and profoundly for the better.

I consider TSLL to be a thinking person’s online community for cultivating an everyday life you love living and that grounds you in fulfilling purpose all the while remaining open to possibility. In other words, a blog that inspires you to think for yourself, to keep an open-mind, to forever remain curious, to find strength in your awesomeness, and find no need to compete with other’s ideas of how they have discovered they enjoy living well. In other words, it is a journey of our heart and involves the courage to explore what is revealed. May one or many of the following posts inspire you along your own journey to and in continuation of strengthening your true contentment.
