Satisfy - Day 3

Today I'm going to use other's words on being satisfied - I'm working on some longer entries that I'll post later :) 

“Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.” 
-Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts

"True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” 

“If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.” 

“You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.” 
― Charles H. Spurgeon


“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.” 
― Ann Brashares, Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood
