Start appreciating the beauty of your own back yard. Too many times we are envious of someone else and what they have. We should be appreciating what we have.
It is interesting to know that while we are busy being envious of someone else's life and what they have, if we really knew what their life was like we would not be envious any longer.
We all have crosses to bear and challenges galore. We are matched up with whatever challenges we must overcome to be the highest and best version of ourselves that we can become. Therefore everyone's challenges are unique to them. You life is unique to you.
So while you are looking to trade up using another person's life as a guide you may not be a happy camper if you got the trade up. You just might be trading down.
While you are watching that man driving that Hummer that you think is so rich and happy, he may be watching you driving an eight year old car with two children in it.
He might not have a dream life after all and is thinking he would trade it all for what you have.
There have been many times I unfavorably compared my life to someone else only to find out that what they had was no picnic in the park. Bloom where you are planted and become present to your own life and what unfolds will be just for you. You have a place in this universe and it is special. Be grateful for the uniqueness of your life. How can God get through to you when your mind and heart is somewhere else? When you spiritually show up for your own life amazing things take place. I don't want to miss any of it. Do you?

I think people are happier, and more content, when they don't get caught up with keeping up with the Joneses. When you get caught up in 'appearances' you are concerned with how things look and now how they really are. It's all about the surface. So the real issues and the thruths of the situations are often lost in the process.
ReplyDeleteWhen you aren't focused with impressing others and chasing what others have, and when you can be satisfied and grateful for what you do have, you will be happier.
I appreciate your comments dear lady and your support. You clearly think long and hard about what you read.
