The grass is greener phenomenon is alive and well in society. No matter what we have, we seem to want something different or something more. Advertising, movies, TV and magazines all tell us we should be aspiring to more as well. We should be slimmer, hotter, in better shape, more wealthy, happier in love. Really, it's too much, isn't it? It can be exhausting to keep measuring ourselves up to against these unrealistic expectations and/or desires. Sad of all, is when one of our idols falls, despite their so called success in money, fame and career status. Absolutely devastating... How do we honour our heart-felt desires and maintain peace and balance in life at the same time??
Healing and helping experts will say that we need to maintain a level of gratitude in our lives. Understanding what we want and need is great, but apparently we need to begin and end with gratitude for what we already have. Like Scotiabank keeps telling us "we're richer than we think." Such a great marketing campaign because we immediately feel more capable and abundant just thinking that, don't we;) Sooooo! If we start and end our days realizing how much love and abundance we already have, we may just find the energy to follow our hopes and dreams. (The Abundance Book by John Randolph price offers a unique way of thinking about money and love. For those who are not spiritual per se, one can think of concepts like "higher self", or "heart and soul" rather than God. It's more about creating good feeling energy to inspire ourselves with.
