“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.”Albert Einstein
In our fast-paced society, we often chase after success and material possessions, thinking they will bring us happiness. However, true contentment can be found in simple moments of peace and gratitude for what we already have. By practicing gratitude and focusing on inner tranquility, we can cultivate a more fulfilling life.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Temperance, or self-control, teaches us to find contentment in simplicity rather than constantly pursuing external validation. By cultivating a calm and modest life, we can appreciate the blessings we already have and resist the temptation of restlessness and discontent. This aligns with the biblical principle in Hebrews 13:5 to be content with what we have, for God has promised to never leave us or forsake us.
