nothing comes easy

"life is scary. get used to it! there are no quick fixes..."
"nothing in this world that's worth having comes easy."
-- Bob Kelso, Scrubs

it's funny, but i was actually thinking of throwing in the towel until i heard the above tonight. not that i hadn't seen the episode before, and the last time it came it did have some noticeable impact on my life, but when i saw it again it was timely for a different reason.

this slow but meaningful song popped into my head in the evening and then it made me want to listen to it. *looks up* thanks, god.

Satisfied
by PAROUSIA

this is more than enough for me
im grateful for the providence you've promised me
and i'm looking forward to
what you have in store for me
i know that you've got my very best interest at heart
and there's no need to worrry
no need to fret
no need for uneasiness

satisfied
what a priceless treasure it is to
be content
to wish for nothing more than i have right now
you will take care of me
i know that now

how would it profit me
if i went running after belongings that soon would fade?
a neverending chase for
unconditional happiness
when all that i want is here in the palm of my hands
so i'm learning to trust you
trust even when
i dont know what to expect

satisfied
what a priceless treasure it is to
be content
to wish for nothing more than i have right now
if you take care of me
yes i will be

satisfied
what a priceless treasure it is to
be content
to wish for nothing more than i have right now
you will take care of me
i know that now
