Character Traits of a Champion: Contentment

Today we explore for a brief time another trait of a Champion.  This trait is probably one of the most difficult ones to obtain as it requires a change in the way we think.  This trait is Contentment.  It can be defined as realizing that true happiness does not depend on material conditions.

What a crazy way to think in the world in which we live! It is not money, possessions, work, family, or even health that gives happiness in life.  It is understanding that to be truly happy in life we must not depend upon the material conditions in which we find ourselves. Often those conditions are hard, troublesome, and full of difficulty. The Champion looks beyond those things and rests in the assurances and promises of Faith, Hope, and Love. When the perspective changes from the horizontal to the vertical, from self to serving others around us, that is what brings happiness and true Contentment in life.
