No matter your bent toward taking on too much or too little, we’ve all felt the pressure of trying to juggle multiple goals in multiple areas of our lives simultaneously. It’s a challenge to balance excellence in work, family, personal life goals, the list goes on…

In this TEDx talk, I unpack the big idea of cultivating contentment through finding the balance between complacency and excellence.

Contentment isn’t something we just do. It takes active perspective work. In this TEDx talk, you’ll also learn three practical ways to integrate contentment into your lifestyle as you strive to reach your goals.

Striving for your goals and being content are both achievable. Change your perspective on what contentment is, live with a purposeful life vision that helps you make choices with your goals, and when you’re striving for your goals, identify the freedom to not be controlled by them. This perspective shift will help you be a high achiever who also pursues contentment. That’s what I call living with a Content Pursuit.
