Work on it.

Kind of goes along with comfort. Kind of. My boyfriend thinks that's the number one thing in a relationship...I'm sure not all people agree. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I do think it's very important. Comfort and contentment allow you to be you, freely and fully. First, if you're comfortable in your own skin, you're comfortable anywhere and with anybody.
My recent battles with santosha stem from my desire for more...I think. I want everything from people, I want fun and laughter and insight and engaging conversation. I want people to care about me and what I do and what I think. And here I sit, it's all about me! Me me me, what I want. Get OVER yourself. (That's me talking to me.) Get onto other things and helping other people. Santosha will set in.
It is in giving that we receive. A quote that, for me, never gets old. A Universal Truth.
I gotta say, though, that moving to a new town, a military town, and living in a military-ish lifestyle, I have some things to which I have to get accustomed. And there's a grace period, or at least I tell myself that. But does there have to be? No. Then why I have been such a pain in the ass to myself lately? Probably because I'm busy worried about things that I want and how other people should fulfill me, and less on how I can fulfill myself.
That whole "I'm responsible for my life" idea fits in well here. Another universal Truth.
Project Santosha.
1. Be grateful for what you have.
2. Understand that there is fun and perfection in every moment.
Sounds simple enough...here goes nothin!
And by that I really mean somethin:)
