I saw this quote (below) in an article about a Lifestyle blog. To strive for wholeness over happiness.
A long time ago my dad said that maybe happiness shouldn't be the goal, but contentment should be what we're aiming for. I don't know if that is true, but I think there is a lot to be said for being content. That's quite Zen, I think, right? To be attached to nothing, isn't that Buddha thing? It certainly keeps the drama at bay.
I liked the quote so much I went over to Canva and quickly put the quote on a background I liked.
The last line is what strikes me as the most significant.
Ask yourself, "is this contributing to my wholeness?" and if you're having a bad day, it is.
Even our bad days have things to teach us. And what makes it "bad" - versus "annoying" or "frustrating" or just "a day?" Doing a little introspection to find out what feelings are lurking under the surface has the potential to be illuminating. Addressing those feelings...? Even better.
