The Grass Is Not Always Greener
I’ve always wanted to just laze by the pool, sip some lemonade, listen to the birds sing and enjoy the breeze. I had the chance today.
Here I was lying comfortably on one of these white deck chairs and I thought to myself – what a wonderful world.
No sooner than 3 minutes had passed when I realised that it was not quite the same pretty picture that I had painted in my mind all along.
The white deck chair was hard as rock. The sun was pouring forth its rays of lights with such intensity. There was not a single bird in sight to sing for me. The air was still and humid.
Yes, the grass always looks greener on the other side. The opportunities over there appear better. The environment appears more appealing…
But in reality, the grass does not always looks greener on the other side. I’ve experienced it first hand today. Today, I finally had the chance to just feel and enjoy the grass on the far end which has always been my dream. When I finally got to that stage, it felt no better. What laze by the pool, listen to the birds sing, sip lemonade and enjoy the breeze? Nothing of this sort happened. It was at best a figment of my imagination.
I’m content with where I am now and what I have. My grass is green enough. Ain’t going to move anywhere.
