Contentment vs Restlessness

Contentment is a relatively new state for me. Most of my life I have been forward-focused and restless for the next goal, project, adventure, or experience. I suppose that comes from having futuristic, maximizer, and ideation in my top 5 Clifton Strengths. However, I am now at a point of having far more years behind me than ahead (unless I live to be 132 year old, which is unlikely.) So, I am allowing myself to look back a bit, look forward a bit, and be content with where I am right now. The past—good and bad, joy and sorrow—brought me here. The future still looks hopeful but is never promised. What I have for sure is this moment. And I’m content with that.
