Good morning and Happy Hump Day to the Posse and fans of Col Burroughs. Sometimes when we can't change things, we need to learn to be content with the way they are and do our best regardless.
Being content doesn't mean we give up the option of making changes when we can or doing what we are able to, to improve a situation or process but it means we don't allow negativity to take over our thoughts and lives. Find the things that are right and rejoice in those, be content with how things in general are and watch for opportunities to improve.

Thank you for the forwarding of the of this, hope you continue. This feature was for a long time my favorite part of RallyPoint and things would be bland, drab, and much less interesting without it.

Today’s Message is: “Content Day!” Why Not?
"Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." - Og Mandino
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus
"When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.' - Dalai Lama
Contentment is not escape from the battle, but rather an abiding peace and confidence in the midst of the battle." - Warren W. Wiersbe
We also need to know that...
“A content leader is a person who has the knowledge, skills, and concrete resources. They will provide high-quality planning, provide the vision, and find and gather the recourses to execute the mission!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
