The difference is in the level of assertiveness applied. One can be so content that they never seek change to better their life for themselves or their family. For instance, one can be content with a high school education and never seek higher learning which would give them better job security and income for their future.

On the other hand, their are folks that are driven to always be looking for something better, not taking the time to reflect and be thankful for what they currently have.
Yes indeed. I am certainly not saying give it all up. But find a level of contentment while in the pursuit of a better life. I like your signature ... "If we don't change our direction we're likely to end up where we're headed."

I do think the expectations of how it will be when we "arrive" are often distorted reality, and we often "get there" just in time to see someone raised the bar and moved the cheese.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
