脚下的草地才是最绿的

Have you ever thought life would be better anywhere other than where you are right now? Maybe some of your thoughts go something like this:

你曾否有过这样的想法——无论如何别处的生活都比此处的更好？或许你是这样想的：

Life will be better once I'm out of debt.
还清债务生活会更好。

I can't wait until I'm retired because then I can do what I want when I want.
我急不可耐的想要退休，那样就可以随时做想做的事情了。

If only I lived somewhere warm I could exercise all year round and I would be so fit.
真希望生活在一个温暖的地区，我可以一年四季坚持锻炼，我将会更健康。

If I could just lose 10 pounds I know I would feel better.
如果我可以减掉10磅的体重，我会感觉更好。

Truth is some of your problems may go away once you have met all of your "if only's" and "better when's" but it won't make the perfect life that fairy tales are made of. New problems will arise and you'll likely find yourself wishing for this "perfect" life to be different still.We can only imagine that the grass will be greener on the other side because it's only when we live it do we actually see it for what it really is.

问题点在于许多问题会在你实现所有“真希望”和“会更好”之后得到解决，但是那不是童话故事中制造的完美生活。新的问题会出现，你仍会发现自己希望对“完美”生活加以改变。我们想象别处的草地比此处的更绿，因为，只有当我们生活在此处时，我们才会知道它真正的样子。

Whatever ideal you have in mind about an alternate lifestyle, location, financial situation etc ... rest assured that each one will be met with it's own unique set of problems.
只有当意识中不同的生活方式、居住地、财务状况等等你都体验过后，才会确信每种生活都会遇到所属的问题。

So what can you do about this?Choose to be content with what you already have

那你该怎么应对呢？试着满意你已得的生活。

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

在午间休息并思考爱情带来的狂喜；
To return home at eventide with gratitude;

在黄昏怀着感恩之心回家；

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

然后为内心所爱之人祈祷，吟唱赞美之歌，并带着祷告和歌声入眠。
