When Things Are GREENER And Less GLITTERY!

 

When Things Are GREENER And Less GLITTERY, it becomes a no-brainer.  WHO does NOT relish and cherish GLITTER in the first place?  I LUV it.  You LUV it.  Everyone LUVs it.  BUT that's about it dude!  Because, in real life, GLITTERs DON'T pop-up everyday!  In truth, GLITTERS may NOT be one-offs BUT save for the scions of the rich and famous.  Instead, GLITTERS come in sparingly.  So, WHEN THINGS ARE GREENER and less GLITTERY, that's WHAT we need to live with💚💛💜

BUT here's a troubling question.  Are we settling in for a lackluster life?  Frankly, I believe in zillions of things BUT one thing you CAN'T swing me back is settling.  WHETHER you are settling for a relationship that DOESN'T meet your needs, a job that DOESN'T light up your soul OR a lifestyle that might NOT even inspire you.  BUT again, here's the trap.  WHAT happens WHEN everyone's doing it?  We've been taught that work ISN'T supposed to be fun, that marriage is hard and that life is about making the best of the cards you are dealt.  YES, somewhere along, we have created a society of settlers complaining about our lives and accepting that this is HOW things are.  Seriously???

Another TRAP we sometimes fall in is the mindset that "MY LIFE IS A-OK"!  Then, you retort further with "WHO AM I TO WANT MORE?"  Depending on HOW you were raised, you may think it's selfish to want more than you have.  You think that by having more money OR wanting more happiness and joy in your life that you're just being ready.  You may even believe that by having more for yourself, you are taking away from those WHO are worse off than you.  Then we start thinking and ask ourselves:  I SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH WHAT I'VE GOT.  To make matters worse, at times, we seem to fear the unknown.  WHILE your life may be a bit lackluster overall, you may find comfort in the monotony of things.  Reaching for bigger and better things that you truly desire could lead you to experiences that are far way outside your own comfort zone and that's scary, dude, to be honest💥💥💥

At times, we [wrongly] think that it seems too late to change.  Up close, I've seen the miserable circumstances of people I know first-hand.  WHEN we have invested so much time and effort in our life, to an extent that you CAN'T fathom making OR initiating a change this late in the game, that traps us.  So, HOW would you restart or reboot?  WHAT then if you fail?  YES, that question can float through your mind and instead of imagining the best possible outcome, we tend to allow our own fears to overwhelm [i'll call it OVERPOWER] our desire.  Until, eventually, you will end up succumbing to the realization that, THIS IS IT [which is NOT the case though] UNTIL you get locked in and bounded by your 'current reality' WHERE every choice you make is based on your current reality and you are stuck in that story.  YES, in your mind there is NO other way.  BUT that's NOT the case dude❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  Think about it.  Maybe, you have forgotten WHAT it feels like to dream?  WHEN you were much younger, WHEN you were feeling unleashed for the first time, you [wrongly] thought that anything was possible BUT as we matured, we seemed to have let go of the wonder and magic of life and instead, we tend to end up focusing solely on WHAT is directly in front of us.  At times, we DON'T even remember WHAT it feels like to be inspired anymore.  We seemed to have let our logical mind guide us to merely surviving.  BUT life has LESS GLITTERS dude😡😡😡
