5 Reasons Why I Choose to Stay Content

1. Because no one can change the past

Whatever mistakes I made are made. I can do nothing at this point to change them, so why should I be stuck on the past?

2. Because God's mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23)

If God can renew his mercies every morning, I can renew my positivity and forgive anyone (even myself) every morning.

3. Because I'm grateful for the blessings I do have

I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and breath in my lungs. Those three things combined are a hazy dream for some, so it should be more than enough for me.

4. Because I am loved

God above all else cherishes me and loves me dearly (John 3:16), my family loves me, my friends love me. It is an immense blessing to have people in the world who genuinely adore you.

5. Because I am valuable

Despite the many mistakes i've made and probably will continue to make, I am valuable. God has a plan for my life (Jeremiah 29:11) and he would not continuously put breath in my lungs day after day if there wasn't a reason he wanted me to continue living.
