When you stop comparing, everything becomes easier. Understand the differences and move on is extremely important. When I say UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES I mean it, ONLY after this you are ready to move on. It is easy to compare and keeping comparing through the entire life. Who never wished to be here when was there?
This happens to everyone, due to something called expectations, which is usually followed by frustrations. As real as it can get, it is never as imagined, sometimes better sometimes worst, but certainly, never the same.
Why? Because of COMPARISON. We are consciously or unconsciously comparing things, places and people, so heads up! Comparison is the thief of joy.
How many people get confused when need or want to leave (the relationship, the job, the country, etc)? It is never easy when you have to leave that great friend behind, your sister, your parents, your future wife, your job or stop cycling that road, which you loved or also stop eating that delicious food from that specific place but you do it anyway, you leave all behind. Leave it because you are alive and till you die you will keep expecting. Humans are moved by emotions, some more than others. Humans are moved by expectations… careers, family, the unknown, safety, love, opportunities… that is, values.
This place called “Here” becomes incredible, when you start to create opportunities from adversities. Everything changes when the perspective changes, all the cons become pros and it flows. Here or There.
Are they hungry? Give them food.
Are the streets dirty? Clean it.
They don’t know? Teach them.
Is the traffic bad? Cycle.
Is your job not good? Change it.
Are you overweight? Exercise.
I know, coming up with an answer for everything is irritating but it does make sense, when the time comes you’ll stop fighting and will be able to understand it, consequently the peace of mind will also come and the differences will be always there to appreciate it but never there to complicate it.
Differences are needed, in order to motivate, to change, to expand but never to compete.
