“No matter how awesome you think your boyfriend is right now, there is someone out there relieved to see his ass gone.” Actual quote from a bathroom stall.
You can apply that to anything, just like ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ when your life isn’t working you tend to look over that virtual/literal fence that divides your boring life from your neighbor’s and think “Man, I wish my life was as exciting/interesting/less complicated as theirs.”
It seems as though our default setting is to give our power away. We waste so much time pining after our neighbors’ life that we neglect putting that energy into changing ours.
Here’s what you need to know about your neighbors’ life -- IT’S EXACTLY LIKE YOURS. They’re probably looking over at your house thinking, “Geez, I wish my life was as exciting/interesting/less complicated as theirs.”
Now if you used that energy spent pining to actually make your life exciting/interesting/less complicated, you'll be too busy living a fulfilling life to bother looking over the fence.
