Develop a mindset of gratitude and contentment from "summary" of The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday,Stephen Hanselman

Gratitude and contentment are not just positive emotions to be felt from time to time. They are mindsets that can be cultivated and developed. This means actively training yourself to focus on the things you have rather than the things you lack. It means looking at the world through a lens of abundance rather than scarcity. When you develop a mindset of gratitude and contentment, you are able to find joy and satisfaction in the present moment. You are able to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, whether it be a warm cup of coffee in the morning or a beautiful sunset in the evening. You are able to see the blessings that surround you, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties. This mindset also allows you to let go of the constant need for more. It helps you to break free from the cycle of always wanting the next big thing, the next promotion, the next achievement. Instead, you are able to find peace and fulfillment in the here and now. You are able to recognize that true happiness does not come from external sources, but from within. Gratitude and contentment are not about settling for mediocrity or complacency. They are about finding joy and fulfillment in the present moment, while also striving for growth and improvement. They are about being thankful for what you have, while also working towards creating the life you desire. So, take a moment to reflect on all the things in your life that you are grateful for. Cultivate a sense of contentment with where you are right now. And remember, true happiness comes not from having everything you want, but from wanting and appreciating everything you have.
