If you won £10,000 on the lottery, you'd sit wishing it had been the jackpot.
As humans, it's in our nature that we always want what we can't have. Or a simpler way of putting it would be that we're never happy with what we have and all we ever want is more.
Is that greed? Aiming high? Looking forward?
I often find I'll fight with everything I physically have to get somewhere or get 'something' only to find that I didn't really need it or want it ...it was simply because I knew it was out of reach in the first place. What is it that makes us want to ache for the things we can't have, rather than appreciate the things we do have?
I've realised, whilst I constantly pray and wish I had different and better things, I'm missing precious time with the things that are here now.
I don't know if life's teaching me a lesson, or what, but I find that if I'm not that bothered about something it's likely to come along for me. But the things I desperately need are a lot more difficult to achieve or find.
And I came to the conclusion that I was trying too hard for the things I knew were out my reach.
Appreciate now and here, not over there and 'next year'. You never know how long now and here will last, miss the 'now' and you'll probably find yourself wishing back to it.
Nobody can control the time.
