The “We have it all” Syndrome

We are all humans, meaning we make mistakes… countless mistakes.

Yes, we do have control over our lives, and we have the power to make the best out of it, and the worst out of it.

I could chose to focus on the house I haven’t bought, on the time I don’t have, on the house chores that seem to never end, on the bad weather… and doing that I can put myself in the most depressing mood possible.

We have the power to do that.

Or I could choose to realize what a wonderful life I have, that I miss nothing, I have a home, I have food, love, a family, a boyfriend who has a loving child, people who make me happy are around me, wonderful friends, a job, I travel and have a good time…

We are our own worst enemies. Life goes by fast, so we’d better make the best out of what we have and take good care of the ones around us. Nothing lasts unconditionally and forever.

Make this journey a good one. There is no second chance.
