realizing the truth

as i talked to friends last night, i realized how true it was what they say that "we all want what we don't have." finding the answer to a previous post that honestly has been on my head for the past few days seemed coincidental - except that i don't believe in coincidences. i realized that while we waste time wishing we were somebody else, that life could be better, that we had more money, that we are more popular --- that elsewhere, somebody else would trade places with us in a heartbeat. case in point, friend A who is a celebrity in his own right and who drives fancy cars and hefty prize winnings told us that sometimes he'd wish he could be an engineer like us. It just goes to show that in the grander scheme of things, each of us has a role to play. we may not all be actors, models nor equally rich, famous but we all have our own purpose. and maybe if we look more closely at ourselves in the mirror, we'll realize that what we wanted all along has always been staring right back at us.
