Have you ever had something really good and yet you were looking for something better? Do you ever feel like you don't know how to appreciate what you already have? What if instead of constantly searching for something new and better, we preferred to protect, love and understand what we already have?
In life, we often find ourselves in situations where we wonder if what we have is enough. In an age where everything is within reach and where society is constantly pushing the idea that we must strive for more, more and more, I sometimes find myself at a crossroads.
Is what I have really what I need?
Is it good enough? Is there something out there better, something bigger, something that would bring me even more happiness?
All too often we get carried away longing for what we could have, instead of focusing on what we have. We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with images of perfection – perfect bodies, perfect homes, perfect relationships. It seems like everyone else is living a life that is a notch or two above ours.
And that's where that little doubt appears, urging me to achieve more, have more, be more.
But then I remember that all that glitters is not gold. I have realized so many times that what looks shiny and attractive at first glance is often nothing more than an illusion. The real value is often hidden in simple things, which are already present in our lives. Of course, it is normal to want to progress, to strive for better.
But what is really better?
What if what we have now is not just good, but the best? But what if the pursuit of something greater means you lose what is truly precious?
I remember moments in my life when I followed this blind desire for more. When I was convinced that there was something better and therefore left what I had. And what did I find out in the end? That I had lost something that I had previously taken for granted, something that I only appreciated when it was too late.
I realized that it is not necessary to always want more
To be able to stop, take a breath and look around. I look at my life, at all the little things I take for granted every day - the warm bed I wake up in, a smile loved ones, a cup of coffee that I drink in peace, the laughter of friends. Each of these moments is like a small treasure that is often overlooked in the search for something greater.
We've all heard the saying that the grass is always greener on the other side. But the truth is that the grass is greenest where we water it.
I'm not saying that we should settle for less, that we shouldn't dream or strive for bigger goals. But sometimes we need to stop and appreciate what we already have, before embarking on a journey to find something greater. Because true happiness comes not from the constant search for something better, but from the ability to recognize and appreciate the value of what we already have.
When I learned to stop and really appreciate what I had, I realized that it was mine life much fuller and richer, than I ever thought.
I learned that happiness is a state of mind
It is the result of me realizing that I am enough right now, here.
These realizations led me to start nursing gratitude. Every day I try to focus on the things I have, not the things I don't have. And as I do, I notice that my perception of the world changes. I no longer feel the constant pressure to achieve more or have more. Instead, I begin to appreciate every moment, every gift that has been given to me.
Life is short, too short to spend it constantly longing for something I may never have. That's why I decided to do it focused on what I have and I will find happiness and contentment in it. When you have something good, don't look for something better. Because what you have may be the best that life has in store for you.
And once you recognize that the truth, deep satisfaction is born in you. You are no longer looking for something better because you know that what you have is enough. Life becomes full, fulfilled and simple - simply beautiful.
