The Flipside of Life

This happens to everyone.Regardless who they are.It's because we're in fact human beings with different wants and needs.

There will always be a point in life where we will meet someone and they would say they wish they had as much time as you had.Or it may be the job we have.Or even the experience we have.It will never end.There will always be something in someone that we always want and something in us that the someone wants.Unfortunately,life is such.We can swap lives.Neither can we swap experiences,time,jobs and the list goes on.The grass always seem greener on the other side somehow.Urging ourselves to move over to the sunny side.

Why is it always so? Why is life such? When we ask other people whether they're contented with what they have,do they always seem so? Or are they just admitting the way things are by just wearing and living behind a mask? Life and living life itself is indeed a great mystery for all.Rather a journey of self discovery.

This is the flipside of life.We always yearn for what others have and want what they have.Be it life,experiences,jobs or even love.We just always feel victimized or hand down the "life-is-unfair" judgement when it boils down to this.Other people feel the same too.To me,I feel the same.I always wonder why sometimes people who don't deserve things in life get more in fact what I could have made use of far better.It's always this way for me.

But I have concluded.

Whatever we have cannot be measured with what others have.We may lack some things but other things we have may make up for it.I see this as our privilege.My privilege.My privilege to my life.My experiences.My work.People may not acknowledge me.But I acknowledge myself.And others as well.That is the most important thing to me.

We may not be able to choose what we want in life but if we work hard enough with passion and with the given conditions and opportunities,we will achieve it somehow.

Finally,when we make it,we become legend.
