ITL140: How to be Content and Ambitious at the Same Time


Listen Later

On this week’s episode, I address the question of how to balance contentment and the things you want in life.

There are several things I want to do and want to have.

Before anything “goes up on our refrigerator,” so to speak, I see if it fits my criteria…

  • Does this line up with my mission in life?
  • Would it make my mission more vibrant and successful?
  • Can this thing be a tool to help people?
  • We are very joyful whether we get to do something or not. There is an understanding that we don’t need certain things to feel fulfilled.

    I am very aware of blessings beyond need.

    • We have a house, but I have proven in my life that I only need a pier to sleep under.
    • We have blessings beyond what we need cultivate a grateful spirit.
    • Gratefulness will make you into a content person.
    • In my quiet time, I will examine the things beyond what I need and determine if I should pursue them.
    • Gratefulness is right in the middle of this question. You’ve got to have a grateful spirit and understand that if your needs are met, everything else is gravy.
