Hi Long,

We need to find a balance between knowing when to be contented and when to seek out opportunities. Thanks for the compliment and glad that you like my article.

Hi Vincent,

You use simple words but effectively, and straight-forwardly nonetheless. You raise an interesting aspect of the sort of mentality we commonly adopt, like you said ‘the other side is always greener no matter which side you are.’

To me it’s not entirely wise to close yourself off to new opportunities in whatever it is that you do, acknowledging them is a big part along your life’s journey (I find defining boundaries in different areas is one way of knowing yourself and your limits at the moment – to avoid being uncertain about the chances we take). But we need to also acknowledge what we have at the moment, again, to us, our spot can never be green enough, while to others, ours is the greenest!

Thanks for the article!

Long.

I have found ‘living with content but not being satisfied’ helps. It is easier said than to practice. I am learning every day.

I used to compare myself with all others and have a negative opinion about myself. A friend of mine, uttered one of the best words in my life – ‘you are inferior to none; and superior to none’. I’ve been successful in coming out of the negativity (it has been almost 15 years since I heard those words).

BTW: you’ve logically layered and analyzed the topic.

Hey Rahul,

I understand the situation where we are always looking at the other side of the grass which always seem like it is greener. Discipline comes into play when our mind start to stray

This is one of the toughest lessons I’m having to learn. I’m in a happy relationship right now, and I have been for quite some time. However, as you’ve described here, the grass on the other side looks pretty green also. A part of me wants to explore, a part of me is happy where I am.

Great article, it puts into perspective the truth that the grass will ALWAYS be greener on the other side, no matter which side you happen to be on.

@Hi Ice,

Cherish is definitely the word to say to people with the “greener grass” syndrome.

@Hi Andrew,

I will be glad to be married! Just not at my age now

@Hi Raymond,

Being contented with what we have is one of the key to be happy. Imagine how will we feel if we keep thinking why are our friend’s partner is more gorgeous than ours.
