Aiming for what we cannot have

Many times human beings are dissatisfied with what we have, it is the obsession for something that another person has and I do not, without taking into account and without valuing everything we already have in our lives.

Hasn't it happened to you that you want something that someone else has? Such as a car, a house, physical features of another person, color, among others. Something very similar always happened to me and that is that my hair is curly and I have a friend who has straight hair and when she saw me she told me that she wanted to have curly hair, what irony do not you think? And it is something that happens frequently in our day to day, we always notice almost instinctively what we are missing.

Sometimes we see in others what we lack but when we compare ourselves with someone and we notice that he does not have many things that we do, we realize that in reality what we have achieved is not as bad as we thought, and at that moment we value more what with effort you have achieved. That at first glance you had but could not see because you were aware of what you still do not have.

However, it is not at all bad to feel this. Because it helps us to motivate ourselves and by being motivated we direct and focus on what we want to achieve. So far everything is fine, the problem would be when we turn it into an obsession and not see and enjoy what you have already achieved.

The most important thing is to set ourselves small challenges that we really want and that we can achieve in order to progress in our life. Motivation is your main fuel to get what you really want. Celebrate your achievements only you know how much it cost you to achieve them. Focus on what is good for you and what is best for you.
