The grass is always greener ...
The grass is always greener ...
Had not been able to blog much lately since I'm caught up with the stress of paper generating ... the agony of sleeping, eating and drinking piles of reading material ... the rush of attending lessons and finding time to write, rest, sleep (that is a real luxury!!!) ...
Anyway, since the beginning of time, humanity has never been a contented lot. Why do I say that? Well, at least I discover or am reminded about it from my own self ...
- this is the time of paper writing and I found myself sighing lots and saying "stress, stress, stress" a lot. Haha, since when had studying become a stress?? I thought I had always wanted to take time off from stressful work to study, and enjoy the care-free life of a student?
- most of the lecturers had already completed their syllabus for the subjects my juniors are taking, and some gave them time off so that they have more time to work on their papers and prepare for exams. I found myself responding almost immediately, "WOW, so good!!"
And almost immediately when I found myself reacting in the above ways, I was reminded about how I should complain less, and give thanks more. And that's why I was prompted to want to write and blog about "the grass is always greener ..." - ALWAYS, when we have a heart filled with envy that is unsettled by a sense of heartfelt gratitude to God.
Forgive me Lord, for my complaining attitude and being ungrateful towards You and Your provisions that are already so rich in my life.
