Is it the same, being content or comfortable? I think I will start with being comfortable. Comfort as a definition is: A condition or feeling of pleasurable ease, well-being and contentment. When I consider comfort I think of sitting in a large soft chair or recliner with my feet up and pillows around me to place my head, arms, legs or feet on. The remote control close by and of course a nice drink nearby as well. Now that is comfortable. Having all the things that I believe I want and need nearby. Someone to cuddle up with can make that experience even better, don't you think? Hummmmm. Comfort can be a good thing.
So now lets consider contentment. A definition for contentment that I have found is:Happiness with one's situation in life. So contentment to me would be being happy with where I am, with what I am doing and where I feel I am going in life. Making decisions for myself based on the needs I have but also doing for others in a way that they are getting contentment from the life and position they are in as well.
So when it comes to being Content or Comfortable, where do I stand. My thoughts on this are we can be comfortable for a time. It may not be long lasting but we are able to accomplish comfort many times. Contentment on the other hand is something we attain after a time of self discovery. Searching who we are, what we are and where we want to be in life. For me I will take that feeling of contentment because with it the comfort level is so much easier to attain. The thought of being comfortable and content all at once is an awesome thought and feeling. Being content with where one is and the direction they are headed is long lasting. I am pretty comfortable with that...
