"The grass is always greener on the other side... OR is it?"
When we look at our lives,we so often find fault or think "Why me?". We take the easy route of complaining or fussing about small things. We let them affect us, our thoughts and actions and waste precious time and energy worrying about our "problems".
At times, we notice people, and feel for them. Momentarily we think, " Oh how blessed we are, that we do not have to go through what they are feeling". But as soon as these less fortunate people are out of sight, we get back to brooding about our "problems".
Why is it so much easier for us to find the bad over the good? Why do we concentrate so much on the smaller details of life that we forget the BIG picture?
As a child, do you recall connecting the dots on your little coloring books to create a picture from a blank page of numbers? Do you remember how happy you would feel to accomplish this, to look back at the connected dots, recognize the elephant or the clown that was hiding behind it? Proudly we would go ahead and color this new found picture to what we thought looked best.
Life is full of these small dots, good and bad. If it was so easy for us to do that then, why is it difficult to believe that all these small problems are trivial. When you slowly start to connect them, and see the larger picture,you will realize life is not that bad after all.
I truly believe, there is no such thing as less fortunate or greener grass. Not everything turns out like a fairy tale. Each of us have had our share of tears, only to make us stronger as a person and to work even harder to earn our right to being happy.
We are our awesome best today, BECAUSE of these "problems".
