The best weed in the neighborhood 🌱 La mejor hierba del barrio

Buenos dias, comunidad @thoughtfulposts. Alegremente me encantaria poder participar por vez primera en la iniciativa Thoughtful Thursday, agradeciendo a su creador @wesphilbin por invitarnos a la reflexión.
En este prompt #9, la hierba siempre es más verde al otro lado de la valla", significando que sólo porque "parece" que alguien lo tiene mejor, no significa que así sea; trataré de explicar una posible interpretacion personal y como la aplico a mi vida.

Good morning, @thoughtfulposts community. I would love to be able to participate for the first time in the Thoughtful Thursday initiative, thanking its creator @wesphilbin for inviting us to reflect.
In this prompt #9, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence," meaning that just because it "seems" like someone has it better, it doesn't mean that's the case; I will try to explain a possible personal interpretation and how it applies to my life.

Esta frase me ha hecho pensar en "wow realmente mi vecino de verdad tiene su jardín más arreglado, mas bonito, florido. Literalmente. Juan Carlos jubilado que se dedica en sus ratos libres a la jardinería y tiene un limonero radiante lleno de bellísimos frutos dorados de sol. Sinceramente lo admiro (aunque a veces en el calor del verano, he envidiado sus jugosos limones) yo lo considero un mentor en la manera en la que él cultiva su espacio. Porque genera en mí, más ganas de cultivar el mío.

Empece a creer fundamental pasar de mirar con desconfianza y con envidia o recelo a mirar a todos como maestros, que tienen algo para decir de su propia experiencia personal. Me es fácil y me gusta adoptar el rol de eterno aprendiz, porque siento que todos los días hasta el último suspiro voy a estar receptivo de captar nuevas formas de ver la realidad. Y esto me llena de curiosidad cada día para empezar y ver las mil formas diferentes que existen a veces de hacer una misma cosa.

This phrase made me think "wow, my neighbor really has his garden more tidy, more beautiful, flowery. Literally. Juan Carlos retired who dedicates his free time to gardening and has a radiant lemon tree full of beautiful golden fruits of sun. I sincerely admire him (although sometimes in the heat of summer, I have envied his juicy lemons) I consider him a mentor in the way he cultivates his space because it generates in me, more desire to cultivate mine.
I began to believe it is essential to go from looking with distrust and with envy or suspicion to looking at everyone as teachers, who have something to say from their own personal experience. It is easy for me and I like to adopt the role of eternal learner, because I feel that every day until the last breath I will be receptive to grasping new ways of seeing reality. And this fills me with curiosity every day to start and see the thousand different ways that sometimes exist to do the same thing.


Creo que mirar el jardín del vecino es una forma hermosa de inspirarse y no debio ser nunca motivo de compararme porque me parece que ahí esta el principal error. En comparar, en querer, de alguna manera posicionar algo por encima de otra cosa cuando en este universo tan lleno de magia y de vida todo ocupa un lugar precioso y de importancia clave.

Looking at the neighbor's garden is a beautiful way to be inspired and it should never have been a reason to compare myself because it seems to me that is the main mistake. In comparing, in wanting, in some way positioning something above another thing when in this universe so full of magic and life everything occupies a precious place and of key importance.

Quizas podría aclarar más (espero) con una leyenda Oriental que escuché durante un viaje que más o menos iba así. Un padre y su hijo muy humildes, tenían un solo caballo y un día se escapó. Los vecinos vinieron a lamentarse por su pérdida y el señor dijo "solo el tiempo lo dirá".

A la semana reaparece el caballo y consigo trae muchos caballos salvajes, por lo tanto ahora la familia poseía decenas de animales. Los vecinos vinieron a decirle Qué buena noticia señor, y el padre volvió a decir: "solo el tiempo lo dirá".

Unos días después el hijo cabalgando uno de los caballos nuevos cae y se quiebra un brazo. Nuevamente vienen los vecinos a decirle que mala suerte que había tenido... y él les dice solo el tiempo lo dirá.

Un mes después aparecen del gobierno reclutando a todos los jóvenes sanos para formar parte del ejército. El hijo se salva porque estaba con un brazo enyesado...

Perhaps I could clarify more (I hope) with an oriental legend that I heard during a trip that more or less went like this. A very humble father and his son had only one horse and one day it ran away. The neighbors came to lament their loss and the man said "only time will tell."
A week later the horse reappeared and brought with it many wild horses, so now the family owned dozens of animals. The neighbors came to tell him What good news sir, and the father said again: "only time will tell."
A few days later, the son was riding one of the new horses and fell and broke his arm. Once again, the neighbors came to tell him what bad luck he had had... and he told them only time would tell.
A month later, the government showed up recruiting all healthy young people to join the army. The son was saved because he had a cast on his arm...


Al final los sucesos que nos pasan en la vida en un primer momento pueden parecernos agradables o desagradables o beneficiosos o de mala suerte. Pero en realidad solo el tiempo lo dirá y muchas veces la perspectiva que tomamos de estos acontecimientos con la luz de nuevos conceptos nos ayudan a re entender nuestras experiencias y sacarle muchísimo más provecho. Puede una aparente tragedia vista de lejos ser una gran fortuna potencial.

Observar en perspectiva y con verdadero detenimiento al detalle nos permite darnos cuenta que las situaciones son más complejas de lo que parecen a simple vista. Que hay muchos escenarios aparentemente simples que en realidad esconden tras de sí muchismas horas de gran complejidad y que situaciones que parecian favorables son también castigos disfrazados.

In the end, the events that happen to us in life may seem pleasant or unpleasant or beneficial or bad luck at first. But in reality, only time will tell, and many times the perspective we take of these events with the light of new concepts helps us to re-understand our experiences and get much more out of them. An apparent tragedy seen from afar can be a great potential fortune.
Looking in perspective and with real attention to detail allows us to realize that situations are more complex than they appear at first glance. That there are many apparently simple scenarios that actually hide behind many hours of great complexity and that situations that seemed favorable are also punishments in disguise.


Tratar de practicar el contentamiento y sentirse feliz con la cantidad enorme de cosas que ya poseemos (algunas vez te has puesto a enumerarlas?).

Puede ser que el césped del vecino esté más brillante hoy... Y qué bien que así sea, sonrío por él y porque tengamos ojos sensibles para apreciar esa luz y también la que está dentro de cada uno.

Gracias por haber llegado hasta aquí, deseo para todos una semana hermosa❤️.

Try to practice contentment and be happy with the huge amount of things we already have (have you ever tried to list them?).
Maybe the neighbor's lawn is brighter today... And it's good that it is, I smile for him and because we have sensitive eyes to appreciate that light and also the one that is inside each one of us.
Thank you for having come this far, I wish you all a beautiful week❤️.

Sort:  

Being motivate instead of envy is great way to see "better weed" :)

When we forget to be grateful, we start to look at the good for other's properties. In fact, every person has good and also bad seasons in time, just enjoy life :

Thank you for sharing :)

😀 I agree 100% with what you say @anggreklestari. Many times I questioned things from the past but stopping judging myself and becoming grateful for what happened changed me completely.
😙 I send you lots of hugs, thanks for your words =)

Hello! This is the vibe I was feeling, when I created this week's prompt. You've went beyond the guess work, and actually put that brain to use! I'm not poking fun, dear soul. This is actually a wonderful post you've created. I see you also play music... That is another bonus, as I used to play drums, before being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, back in 2016. Anyway... good to meet you @faunobrujo ...
¡Hola! Esta es la sensación que sentí cuando creé el tema de esta semana. Has ido más allá de las conjeturas y has puesto tu cerebro a trabajar. No me estoy burlando, querida alma. En realidad es un post maravilloso el que has creado. Veo que también tocas música... Ese es otro bono, ya que solía tocar la batería, antes de ser diagnosticado con esclerosis múltiple, allá por 2016. En fin... encantado de conocerte @faunobrujo ....

Que bonito y sabio post @faunobrujo, coincido contigo en que el compararse con los demás sólo acarrea pérdida de tiempo. Me encantó la leyenda oriental que compartiste, siempre me ha parecido súper acertada.

Que tengas una bonita semana. Saludos.

Gracias @sirenahippie, que amables que son tus palabras. La historia del campesino chino y su hijo la repito seguido, porque me ha servido tanto a mi en momentos difíciles. Me leí tu post del Reggae, aguante el Bahiano! 😎

Que tengas una semana también muy hermosa. Abrazos.

Holaaaa

Siento la tardanza, mi internet no colabora, está súper lento. De veras me gustó mucho tu post, está genial, y muchas gracias por leer mi post de Los Pericos, y sí Bahiano es lo máximo. Abrazos @faunobrujo!

Si, todo tranqui, nunca hubo drama 😆 Abrazos compañera!
