Episode 278: Fully half-full

Contentment is the practice of turning toward the present moment
and accepting it as sufficient. However, when I teach this to
folks, the most common objection I hear is: "But, Orion, my
present moment isn't sufficient. That's the problem! There are
things that I want that I don't yet have." Fair enough. That
said, I believe that the practice of contentment is perfectly
compatible with goal-directed action. I'll explain how in this
episode.
