Fruitful Thought: Are you content or present in the present moment? I know you are probably thinking "What you talking about Willis" in your Gary Colman voice. I believe we experience both states of being when it comes to the present. We are easily distracted by either the next big thing or stuck in our comfort zone. Let's explore the present in both states and see if you agree. If we are honest, we view being content in the present moment as things are going good in our world and we don't want any problems. The state of being content means - satisfied where you are, who you are and what you have. It doesn't mean you are free from trials, obstacles, or the issues of life. It just means your perspective and focus is different. The bible says “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?” ( Matthew 6
