Phillipians 4:11
"Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."
Hebrews 13:5
"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for he hath said I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
From these verses, we see that no matter what our circumstances are we have Jesus on our side so we should be content with what we have. We shouldn't worry about having the next big thing or the next relationship or the next big promotion.
Where you are right now is enough.

Another note: Notice Paul says he has LEARNED to be content. It isn't something we just know how to do. Human nature wants more and worries about the future. It takes effort and focus to learn to be content, to be happy with what you have and be satisfied. Don't get discouraged!
