I forget the process sometimes and strive for the end results. But after the end results, I keep thinking of other end results and I miss out on the present.

Enjoy the moment! As Miley Cyrus sings, “It’s the climb.”

Some people thrive on the process; others prefer the end result.

I love this. I especially love the part about immersing yourself in the moment, whether that means you're making changes in that moment or sitting still. It's not about fretting about getting to a place where things are finally done (and definitely not about making them perfect) it's about enjoying whatever you're doing in that moment. Thanks!

People that are creative types are the happiest when they are creating, And for stay at home moms Our homes are what we look at and live in 24 hours a day. So of course we want to create in our homes and we have many hours to see what isn’t working and to plan on how to make it better. I do not think that people that don’t change anything are more content. They probably have a different outlet for there creative energy that is more important to them. I believe it is a great role model for our kids to see us mothers making our houses into homes and to make it a pleasant place the want to be in and to see us creating, working, and doing the work our selves instead of having to hiring everything done. A can do attitude and to be able to have a nice home on a limited budget is a great life lesson.
I feel that me working on my house is no different then a painter painting ,or someone restoring old classic cars just a different outlet.

For me the answer is yoga. It is the only time and place I can really let go. And even then, I don’t always or “perfectly” (there’s that word again!) let go, but it helps. And when I am done, the world looks a little more perfect, or perfect in its imperfections.

What a day to be introduced to your blog! Can it be that that stirring inside, to change, to improve, to learn, to grow is in fact what it means to be Alive?
And that contentment is the ability to stop, be silent and become aware of the places we have been that have brought us here and now, the blessings we have here and now and be moved to be grateful?
It is wonderful to find out I am not alone in my struggle to be content and search for beauty and love in this world.

I don't think improvement is a bad thing, though! Yes, you can be content, but you can also always aspire toward a greater and more beautiful life! Jaclyn DuBois´s last blog post..Kaizen of the year, maybe...

I've wondered about this myself and it sounds like a lot of your readers have too! I've come to the conclusion that, for me, I have to have a break sometimes but if I don't have some kind of challenge in life I end up far more discontented than if I didn't try to achieve something in the first place. Working towards something positive makes my brain feel sharper and puts a spring in my step. And if people keep working towards their personal goals (whether that is a nice home, money in the bank, getting out of debt, a good career, a happy family, health and fitness, learning something new)there can be a great sense of contentment about what they have already achieved when the time comes to step back and take some time out. I totally agree with what many people have said here about things constantly changing and having to adapt. It's no bad thing really. Maybe the key is learning to be objective, not pushing ourselves to get everything done NOW and remembering to acknowledge how far we have come! Shoestring´s last blog post..Cutting it fine…
