About This Quote
Living a contented life is not an exercise in dreaming of a better tomorrow. It is the celebration of today and the pursuit to end all pursuits. The idea that we must create something for ourselves that will stand the test of time is one that has driven our culture for centuries. The quest to find the perfect mate, to own the perfect car, to have the perfect house, to have the perfect job.
All these things are driven by the need to satisfy our own needs and desires. As long as our goals are focused on goals that are out of touch with reality, we will never be satisfied. Our sense of contentment comes from knowing how satisfied we can be with what we have now.
