On Comparison

Oftentimes than most, I'm a very content person. Someone who believes in watering her own grass, counting her own blessings. But it is only human for anyone to feel like they're not doing enough, or their grass isn't green enough from time to time.

Today, for instance, I came across an old friend, whom I love dearly, and will always wish the best for her. However, I saw that she was traveling for work to a place that looked scenic, and just like a wonderland. Despite being very happy for her, something also told me how I was never lucky enough to get out of the country, to venture out on an adventure, sure things might happen in the future, but getting to travel in one's youth is the biggest blessing there can be.

The reason I'm writing this today is only to tell myself that the universe works in mysterious ways, divine timing is different for everyone. Maybe my grass isn't as green as I'd like it to be, but does that mean I should stop watering it? Absolutely not, that will only kill my garden, and cancel out all the progress I've made so far.

Comparison is the killer of joy, and I am enough. :)
