Happiness vs. Contentment

I often found myself depressed for long periods of time. The doctors shrugged it off as bi-polar and prescribed me a solution. It's been a few years since my last treatment and I've learned a lot. I find that my inability to be content with where I am is often the stemming of my depression. I also have found that contentment is a choice. I can either choose to complain that I had to work last night staying up until one in the morning and then have to get up early the next morning a gripe about having no sleep, or I can welcome the extra $100 in my pocket and pray for a restful slumber. One leaves me cranky and not performing on my game the next day, and the other leaves me in a state of gratitude and open to more. Appreciate and use your gifts wisely, you are more blessed than you know.
