The Other Side of the Fence?

Why do we always have the perception that the grass seem greener on the other side? Why do we always think other people are having more than we do? Why are we constantly trying to have something we never had?

Why can't we be thankful for what we have?

I see a lot of people who think their lives are lacking in so many aspects - love, partners, friends, financial-wise, parents... basically anything they can think of. They want to fix everything that they've and wish they can replace them with things that other people are having. 

Why don't we take 2 seconds out of the ungratefulness we feel in a minute to think we all are living in perfection. Even if we know we aren't, at least think that our lives are near there; great friends, wise parents, lovable siblings - little things that can sum up to huge happiness. 

When you actually get to the greener side, you might just want to come back for those little things you never knew meant so much. Please love your life the way it is. In our quest to make it better, don't forget that after all, we've been given what we ought to have.

HE knows better.
