#3 Change Your Life With Contentment
I wrote this post a while back to differentiate between happiness and contentment. I found that so many people were pursuing happiness but not many people were pursuing contentment. Why not? The two concepts are similar and intertwined, but not the same.
Contentment is simply defined as being happy with what you have. In other words, contentment is happiness within the bounds of what you already possess and where you already are. While our consumer culture may try to convince us otherwise, I think more people are searching for contentment than they realize.

#4 Authentic Relationships
If I’ve learned anything during this time of quarantine and social-distancing, it is a greater appreciation for connection. We were built for authentic relationships and connection with others. These relationships have been tried and tested during the COVID pandemic, as we’ve been forced to adjust our school, work and social patterns to adhere to healthy distances. I’m constantly amazed at the creative ways people find to stay connected.
The popularity of this post strengthens my belief in the power and need for authentic relationships. Our methods of connection may change with time and circumstances, but the basic premise is the same – we need each other.
