Being content with the present is easier said than done sometimes.

It’s in our human nature to want and chase after more. From material possessions to relationships to jobs, there is always something.

These things can be great motivators. We may work harder in our jobs or on ourselves. Our strive and hustle for more has the potential to lead to amazing growth.

Or there’s the alternative. It consumes us. We begin to put things above people. We begin to put money above everything. We begin to idolize our hopes and dreams. It can make our current lives seem miserable and hopeless.

In the past couple of months, I feel like I have reached a really good place with my perspective on my life and where I am at.

The lottery was a big inspiration for this post.

If you didn’t know, the Powerball is up to $1.9 billion.
