When you really get down to it, life is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to invest. You can invest in the temporal and you can invest in the eternal. Self indulgence might be an example of investing in the temporal. Selflessness might be an example of investing in the eternal. Parents find themselves investing in providing for their family. This can be either temporal or eternal…depending on what they teach those children. If they teach their children the importance of investing in love and selflessness, if they teach them the importance of being a light in this dark world, then they are investing in the eternal.

As a parent, I want to teach my children the beauty of contentment.
What a wonderful thing to teach your children, Yemi! There is no doubt that true contentment is beautiful. How would you, personally, go about 'teaching' it? Is there a secret to true contentment?
Thanks for the comment!
