In the eye's of the beholder
No one is ever satisfied!
Everyone wants more then what they have!
The Grass is always greener on the otherside!
These are very true statments in regards to peoples desires and feelings about themselves. They are never good enough in their own eyes.
I look at the life of some people I know and dream of leading a life like theirs. But then the other day I was talking to a friend and we got into a deep conversation and I was mentioning a guy I knew and all the things he has done and is doing, all the things he has learned and activities he has partaken and how I find myself lacking. But then when I said this to him he laughed at me, and he was like, heck you have done so much with your own life and look at all the things you have done, you have done a heck of a lot.
I had to stop and look again at my life, and yes I have done a lot and am doing a lot, just not the same things as this guy. Doesn't mean the things I have done less or more of value, just different. I once felt ashamed of my life when I spoke to him and now I feel like bragging :-) For now I see all the things I have that he doesn't and I smile for I wouldn't give them up for anything.
