The grass is not always greener on the other side – Accept the fact that you are at the right time, sequence and place

Dance like the photo’s not being tagged. Love like you’ve never been unfriended. Sing like nobody’s following. Share like you care. And do it all like it won’t end up on youtube!

We tend to compare ourselves with people when it comes to status, jobs, the happiness and so many other things. Yes, we tend to keep measuring happiness. It happens many a times for e.g. we say “Oh they are so happy!! They have everything that they require and appear so happy. What exactly are we trying to project?  Each one of us know for sure that happiness is one such thing that cannot be measured.  We can never tell whether having that exotic holiday or that great job or for that matter that beautiful palatial home is in fact actually a yardstick to measure someone’s happiness.  If that was the case, all the Tatas, Ambanis and Birlas would be happy right ?  That will surely ring a bell for sure.

If you thought that the grass was greener on the other side, it definitely is not.  Why will anyone want to change places and positions with anyone for that matter?  First of all we need to accept for a fact that we are at the purrrfect time and space in this beautiful world and there is no denying the fact. This surely does not mean that we should not be ambitious, it simply means that we need to accept the fact that this life is the right one for us. 

What you are not happy about at this point in time is something that you would have desired to have at some point in time.  When we are young, happiness for us is being with friends, family. As we grow up the happiness quotient changes. We are exposed to a whole plethora of ads and we have choices as to how we can be only be happy only if we are able to buy all those wonderful objects, go for lavish holidays, eat out at expensive outlets. 

There are incidents when people get restless when they find that their family members or friends are doing things better and are doing good for themselves. This lowers their happiness, Why is it so?  Why are we being so materialistic when it comes to happiness? Why is it that our happiness is dependent on so many external factors like only if I get this, I would be happy or only if we go out for a foreign vacation, I would be really happy?

The person who is travelling continuously for hours and days and even months together for office work may definitely get the money, status and recognition and will surely be able to provide much more than his family actually wants.  But in the bargain, he is losing out on those wonderful moments of life – yes, I call it LIFE, when his child is growing up.

There is definitely nothing wrong in doing so, he is actually receiving what he has chosen and what was his dream always.  Life gives you everything that you have chosen, nothing more, nothing less!!

Love and blessings always!!!
