Life's not about whats better than, an amazing and truthful song by John Butler Trio. I try to live my life with no comparisons. Constantly I hear people complain or compare experiences to each other. I am guilty of it myself sometimes as well. For example if you ask someone how their night was, many times the reply was it was alright or nothing special. However-- why does everything need to be compared? Why can't that night be just as amazing or special as the last. For the most part you are usually always enjoying the company of good friends and good people. You may be meeting people you have never met before, experiencing a new atmosphere of some sort, or tasting a food you have never tasted before. Take those feelings and experiences as they are-- they do not need to be compared to a past experience. They are just as amazing and special. As human beings we are always seeking something else, something better, something greater, something bigger. Nothing is 'good enough.' So take this moment to try and eliminate the comparisons or the 'longing' for something different out of your life and make your present situation good enough, special enough, and amazing enough for you. If it is not enough then change something and make it enough. Life shouldn't be about comparing the past or waiting for something else in the future. Life is about right now, this moment. So make it great.
Myself and a few of my close friends (Alexandra, Cassie, Brianna, Jade, Jenna, and Lindsay) went to Solana Beach last Thursday and explored the Meditation Gardens. The view was breathtaking and the gardens were so peaceful and tranquil. I posted a few pictures from that day.. enjoy :).
I just saw Midnight in Paris....so funny you would talk about comparing our present to the past. The whole movie is about making the life we are living our own golden age. I'll see it again woth you :)
