Six Word Story:
Bliss, the best friend of contentment.
About This Six Word Story:
This week’s six word story was inspired by Eugi’s prompt for the week. The prompt word this week was “bliss” and it make me think of contentment. Recently, I shared a SWS about happiness and it got me thinking about contentment. Mostly thanks to the wonderful comments I received on that post.
I think a lot of people chase happiness even though it is so incredibly fleeting. But chasing contentment is a much safer option. When you learn to be content with what you have, you’ll automatically be a happier person because you’ll appreciate what you have and be grateful for it. Instead of always looking for more, you’ll be happy with where you are in life and what you have.
When I was living in Canada, we visited my dad’s friend’s house and his father was there too. We talked with him and he was such an incredible person. He told us that a few years ago, he decided to be content with what he had no matter what. And since then, he’s felt so happy and free. He’s partially blind and deaf but so incredibly grateful and content. It was quite inspiring. He’s also really intelligent since he used to be an English professor. But anyway, talking to him made me realise the importance of contentment and I feel true contentment can bring us bliss.
