It’s OK to Be Content: Why Wanting Less Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed


In my 20s, I was all about being a “boss babe,” chasing goals and achievements like it was a competition. Back then, it was almost a badge of honour. But now, at 33, I’m starting to question if that’s still what I want. What if I don’t always need to be striving for more? Is it wrong to just be? Is being content lazy? Have I failed?

Letting Go of the Hustle

There’s this constant pressure to always want more. I used to think if you weren’t pushing yourself, then you weren’t doing enough. But lately, I’m starting to rethink that. Maybe it’s okay to slow down. Maybe being content is not about giving up, but about appreciating what you’ve already built.

Being Content Doesn’t Mean Settling

For a long time, I believed being content meant you’d stopped growing, but I’ve learned that’s not true. Contentment is about peace in the present, not about losing ambition. I still have goals, but I’m not racing towards them like I used to.

How I’m Embracing Contentment

Honestly, I’m enjoying being still and living in the now. It’s hard to accept, and I don’t have it all figured out, but that’s okay. I’m realising that life isn’t about constantly achieving—it’s about finding joy in where you are right now.

Anyways, keep up to date on my Instagram for everything I'm doing on @hiitsjessd.

  1. I LOVE your advice and the example you are setting. Self-acceptance, body positivity!
    Thank you for encouraging me to try to embrace self-acceptance!
    P.S.: I also love the beautiful photograph of you on the couch!
    I think that the outfit you were wearing rivals or eclipses much of the designers' haute couture being seen on the fashion runways... and you look absolutely gorgeous (and extremely attractive) wearing it.
    Your lipstick and mani nail art also look pretty.
    I love the photos of you in your blog's header photos as well!
    If I ever join Instagram I will definitely want to be following you there!
