The neighbor backyard is always green

Usually we heard that kind of phase in many different words: new is always better; my neighbor backyard is always green; that place has all the best; and so on.

But have you asked yourself if this is actually true? Maybe this is just a wrong perception we have about life and reality.

We have good and bad experiences in our lives. When we are living a bad time and things are not so good, we start to raise questions and see things around us in a different way, looking for others environments and other possibilities. Thoughts about changes come to our minds, but let’s take a moment and think if we should we really look for the ‘neighbor backyard’.

Bad experiences are good, we learn a lot from them. Actually, we learn much more from bad experiences than good ones. We all need to fail to learn something. No matter what we read about what’s bad or what’s good, probably you will fail and you will be in a situation you will ask yourself if you want that. And that’s completely ok. The decision will always be taken by considering the following: you, energy and people around you.

First, you should think and reflect if you want that, if you are ready to go through that situation, if you want to do what you have to do to learn/growth/pass that moment.

Second, the energy has to be good, so you could receive, and you could pass the energy to other people or even to yourself. The environment energy has to be light and good, so you attract great thoughts, free your mind and worry to the right things.

And third, you have to be around with people that want the same thing was you. If you want something, and you have the energy to go conquer that, but you don’t have the right people around you, probably this is not going to work. So, the thing you want to achieve or you want to change depends not only for yourself, make sure you have good minds around you.

Those moments and those decisions will make you learn, and will make you growth as a person, and learn many things about life.

All that said, there will be moments in your life that you will not have time to think anything of that. Life can change direction very quickly, and you will just have to accept facts as they happened. When this is the situation, don’t look down. It only happened to you because you were ready for that, you would have the energy to get out from the situation, and most of all, you have the right people around to help you.

So, don’t quit. Life is good. Less is more (*). The best moments of our lives are the ones that we will experience in future. Be humble, be honest and live each day as we were kids, with a smile on your face.
