Content as Cats

Sometimes I just like to watch what’s happening around me and reflect on it. I’m sure I’m not alone. I know others who ‘people watch’ or ‘bird watch’ but I’m not just focused on people or animals. I like to look at the whole picture around me. I think we get a better understanding of our world when we simply watch and listen and observe.
And especially when we have a new experience or environment. For me, I’m learning all sorts of things about cats. Simply watching them helps me understand their behavior. Now, I had cats growing up, but they were barn cats, so I didn’t get to observe them regularly throughout the day. The cats I have now, however, give me a chance to see how they behave more of the time.
And what struck me this past week about my cats is how content they seem to be. My cats may be more docile than others because they let the kids tote them around like bags of flour, but I think most house cats are similar. And I started to wonder why they might appear so content to me. I thought about how their basic needs are met with consistent food and water, a safe environment and the availability of interaction (cat to cat and cat to human). And for a cat, maybe that’s enough.
But then I got to thinking about why I’m not content most of the time. I have all of my basic needs met, and even much more than I even need, but I don’t find contentment in my life all of the time. And that’s more than just worry and anxiety, but an actual longing for more in my life.
So, what makes me discontent in my life? Well, I think there’s a very good discontentment that we naturally have that we need to pay attention to, like discontentment with injustice or bad habits in our life. But what about financial contentment or relational contentment. Why do we always want more? I think part of it is the good discontentment leaks into the bad discontentment. But even more it’s about defining what we need. We know what’s out there. We know what we don’t have. And if we don’t define what we truly need, then we’ll always be searching for something more.
Paul writes to his protégé Timothy in 1 Timothy 6.6-8: “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.” Paul defines contentment as food and clothing. I would say he is assuming our relationship with God and with others, but he keeps it pretty simple. So I pray we define what we truly need and, with God’s help, learn to be content with that. God bless.

Very nice article, totally what I wanted to find.

Подбор адвоката это важный шаг при решении вопросов права и охране своих интересов. Независимо от того, нужны ли вам юридические услуги в области бизнеса, домашнего права, недвижимости либо уголовного права, правильный адвокат может сделать громадное различие в вашем опыте. В этой статье будут рассмотрены некоторые ключевые нюансы, которые стоит принять во внимание в момент выбора адвоката.
1. Определите свои потребности и специализацию

Прежде чем начать поиск адвоката, обусловьтесь с характером вашего юридического вопроса. Разные адвокаты специализируются в различных областях права, по этой причине важно выбрать того, кто имеет опыт и знания в вашей определенной сфере.
2. Получайте рекомендации от доверенных источников

Обратитесь к друзьям, семье или коллегам, которые имели возможность сталкиваться с похожими юридическими вопросами. Опыт других людей может быть ценным ресурсом для нахождения адвоката с хорошей репутацией.
3. Обследуйте и проверьте квалификацию

После получения советов проведите дополнительное исследование. Проверьте профили адвокатов, прочитайте отзывы клиентов и удостоверьтесь, что у них есть необходимая лицензия и квалификация для работы в вашей юрисдикции.
4. Сравните оплату и структуру гонораров

Доступность услуг адвоката также играет важную роль. Сравните ставки и структуру гонораров разных специалистов. Некие юристы могут делать отличное предложение бесплатные консультации или эластичную систему оплаты.
5. Проведите собственную встречу

Личная встреча с возможным ближайший адвокат адвокатом является принципиальным шагом. Это даст для вас представление о его личности, стиле работы и отношении к вашему делу. Задайте вопросы, обсудите возможные стратегии и оцените, насколько адвокат соображает ваши потребности.
6. Проверьте репутацию в среде адвокатского общества

Обследуйте, участвует ли юрист в проф организациях, публикует ли статьи, выступает ли на конференциях. Юрист, который интенсивно участвует в проф обществе, часто обновляет свои знания и поддерживает свою репутацию.
7. Уточните вопросы о доступности и коммуникации

Обсудите с адвокатом вопросы доступности и желательные методы коммуникации. Важно, чтоб вы ощущали себя уверенно в том, что ваш адвокат будет на связи и готов ответить на ваши вопросы.

Выбор адвоката это главный шаг, который может существенно повлиять на исход вашего юридического вопроса. Используйте эти советы для тщательного подбора адвоката, который будет наилучшим соответствием вашим потребностям и ожиданиям.
