As the saying goes…
The grass is always greener on the other side
So, is this entirely true? Here’s something for you to ponder and think about too
In my opinion, I would say “Nah.” I don’t really believe in this. Yes, it is human nature to want to posses what others have which we do not have. It is human nature to think that others always have it easier than us… that the surrounding people are more fortunate than us, and we are the ones that always have to suffer etc…
BUT, once you reach the other side, you would have realize that the green over there is not greener. In fact, it might have been ‘less green’ than your own patch.
I feel everyone should be comfortable in their own grass patch. Learn and grow from our own grass patch. Rather than constantly looking over to the other side, wishing that you could have the chance to step into that ‘greener’ grass patch, why not make your own grass patch ‘greener’? (:
Success does not come easily. This we all know isn’t it? We may think that our own situation is in dire state, and others are far more fortunate that us. But, before you start having this thinking, stop yourself and ask yourself this question: What if I am in the other person’s shoes? Now, what we think is good may not apply for others. The person whom you think is in the ‘greener’ patch may be struggling through a difficult situation in life, but yet put on a smile so as not to let others worry. Or, the person may indeed be in a ‘greener’ patch, but I believe it comes at a price. The higher you climb, the harder you fall…
Anyway, i just wanted to share this thought for today. Its time for an episode of my Jap drama before I call it a night.
Gd’night folks!
