Monday Musings #10
Filed Under: Monday Musings @ March 9, 2009 | 7 Comments
When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‘Oh yes — I already have everything that I really need.’
- The Dalai Lama
Not easy to say all the time but we can try, right?
Happy Monday everyone! Have a great week!

Truly, words to live by. Some days I am better at this than others, I think I need to work harder on it. Thanks for the kick in the rear to remember that!

The sentiments of this quote are exactly why I’m doing my Grateful 2009 project. To remind myself of all the good things in my life!
