1. Contentment
a) Content is defined as satisfied with what one is or has. This is a feeling that is propagated by an attitude. You only have 2 possible choices when situations arise. You can be reactive and let the situation dictate your response, or you can be proactive and choose your actions based on discipline.
b) Being content is a proactive choice in everything. It is a choice that you can make in every single situation. Contention doesn't mean you are happy in the bad times. It means you are satisfied with life because you know that God has things in control.
