Why do we always think that our neighbour's grass is greener?
Why do we always think that our neighbour's grass is greener? This saying adds profound meaning to our lives and offers unpredictable insights for those willing to consider it. At the core of it all lies dissatisfaction and a sense of insatiability. While I constantly thank God for what I have, I also feel the desire to seek something different or better.
So, what is the reason for this? The lack of movement and colour always instils in a person the feeling of being dissatisfied with what they have, seeking something else instead, and longing for it. Today’s people exhaust themselves, even decay, in pursuit of competition, ambition, and success. The peak of this ambition is to drink greedily from the fountain of 'more money, more luxury living, and insatiability.'
Like those chasing the fountain of youth, we strive to go further and achieve greater success. If you give a person only one mountain and expect them to be content with it, you make a big mistake. Because people start questioning, 'Why don’t I have a second mountain?' or 'Why don’t I have a third mountain?' This is similar to wanting to buy the latest iPhone model or owning every BMW 5 Series. Remember, your possessions should serve you, not the other way around.
Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, and acetylcholine are the cornerstones of our performance. The release of these three chemicals, just like a car running smoothly, keeps our brain balanced.
What is dopamine? Individuals with high levels are more likely to achieve challenging goals and reap substantial, more motivated rewards. Their success rates also increase accordingly.
Noradrenaline helps you aim your camera in the right direction. Dopamine enables you to zoom in until you reach the desired composition. Acetylcholine enhances your focus and enables you to work flawlessly.
Do you know why turtles live so long? They have surrendered; they are aware of their capabilities. They are merely travellers on their path, with no rush and no passion.
