Prescription for contentment:

• Never allow yourself to complain about anything—not even the weather.
• Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
• Never compare your lot with another’s.
• Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
• Never dwell on tomorrow—remember that [tomorrow] is God’s, not ours.

“Most of us base our contentment on our circumstances, on our feelings, or on other people. However, true contentment is separate from our circumstances. Contentment is a state of the heart, not a state of affairs.”

-Calm My Anxious Heart, Linda Dillow
