Chasing Shadows: The Illusion of a Better Life and the Quest for Contentment

Most of us do think others life is better than ours, and we all do start comparing our life with other so we get a better idea of when we will be in their shoes. Will you feel that life would be better if we would be at some point or if we will get that thing? We don't get satisfied or we do stop at some point the more we get the more we want. I have seen a few people so did get satisfied with what they do have. Honestly, when I was new to Hive I just want to reach 1K Hive power. Now I do have 20x high power than that time but still, I am not satisfied with it. Are you satisfied with what you have?

When we were at school we used to see people around us on the job and we do feel that they are so lucky that they do have a job and they don't have to study anymore and sure they do enjoy it a lot. But in reality, things are very different from how you do think about them. We only know about them when we are in the same situation.

I was not that much good at my studies from my school days but I did know that I will do something in my life and not gonna waste my life of mine. Honestly, I haven't done anything big in my life you are at I do have some good feeling that I will do something back sooner for that I have to wait of course. When I was a child I use to see my elders who are on jobs they used to visit their homes occasionally only at festivals and or at big events. Everyone in the village is also excited when they come home we use to receive them at the bus stop and used to carry their luggage happily and they used to give us something (sweets) to eat when we reach home.

Now I feel how hard that is for them to only visit their home very often. They have to work very hard in private companies and they do save money for their families a few of them used to send money monthly and a few of them used to bring so many things with them when they return to their homes.

Now I do feel how life is I used to think that after finishing college if I did get a job then life would be All sorted but things didn't happen as we planned or how we think they would be. Life is not that much easy for everyone of course there are so many go to have a really good life I am not complaining that they do have that kind of lifestyle or so and so. Actually, I am kind of grateful that I do have a job house to live and many more things. But still how I use to imagine my life in my college or school days but now if I look back don't see my life anyway around how I used to think about it at that time.

This is the reality of life and it is so mysterious you can't predict and have no idea what is the next minute of your life so, in my opinion, you also try to be friendly with everyone and humble and kind. There are problems in everyone's life we should try to fight then and overcome them through our hard work and make our life better and better. Maybe in the future, I will get a better job who knows let's see I will sure let you know.

see you in the next post, till then keep learning and keep exploring...

Life is good for some while it isn't for others. That doesn't mean we should try to compete with them and in most cases, envy them which could turn to strife in the end. The best is to do good and be friendly to everyone around us.

Hehe... To be satisfied as a human is very hard. We would want something so much, but when it finally comes we realize it's no longer enough for us and Begin to want some more. That's how life operates and that's how we also get to make advancements and also grow.

For me adulting is hard and a constant chase of goals. It's complicated too! 😆 I am grateful for whatever I have now in life and doing my best in everything. 🙂 Nice read!

I relate to everything that you said in here. Sometimes I do feel like I took my time in highschool for granted and now I'm an adult but I miss those times more than ever now but I think it's a part of growing up.

The grass is always greener on the other side right brother😅?

Getting satisfied in life is difficult for most of people and it is the reason for what we always try to chase something. If we able to achieve our target then we set and new target and till the end of our life we continue doing that. Sometimes I feel everything is like an illusion and doesn't matter how much I hate I go I will be in the same position. So it's better satisfied with our current situation. At least it gives us happiness.

Succeeding in life is not having a lot of money or big property (although it would be great to have them), being successful in life is finding peace in what we do and in the way we live.
