Being satisfied but still moving forward

While listening to a podcast this morning, my focus shifted to the word “Contentment”. What does it mean to be content with your current situation? My understanding is that you’re satisfied and doing all right. Well, how can this word work for someone who is trying to change and overcome/change something within their life? Understanding the inevitable is one way to stay content. To grow we have to fail and we have to learn. We have to come to terms with the fact that we don’t know everything and must learn new things, even when we’re not reading a book or in school. We have to take in and process constructive criticisms. We have to be satisfied that changes are not going to occur over night. Contentment is enjoying the ride, while still striving for greatness.
