Learning to be Content

Being content with what you have is probably the hardest thing in life. The expression the grass is greener on the other side is truer as life goes on. We are so busy trying to obtain the "other side" that we forget to enjoy life as it is now. I have a great man in my life and unfortunately I am so focused on what our relationship could be instead of what we have now. If I'm completely honest with myself then we have a great relationship and have great memories now, but I focus on the future and then I get disappointed if things aren't moving at the pace that I want. The question is why am I in such a hurry? I tend to be an impatient person so I really feel like God is testing my patience and I'm failing miserably. In a world that gets answers in a millisecond of course I want my personal life to have answers just as quick.

Learning to be content with what I have is what I've struggled with my entire life.
