Live in your rhythm

Everyone has a rhythm that belongs to them, you are not at the front or the back of the line.

Some people graduated from college when they were 20, but only found a job of their own when they were 30. Others have owned a company of their own and made a great deal of money by the time they were 25, but who ended their lives at the age of 40. Some are married, others are still single, some became mothers at 20, and others did not conceive life at 40 ......

Everyone has their rhythm in life, you are not at the front of the line, nor are you at the end of the line. You just follow your rhythm and live your life well.

Do not easily go to envy anyone's life, because that is not fit for you, only control your rhythm, get the life is their own.

I have observed the world and met a lot of people, everyone seems to be envious of other people's lives, I found an interesting thing: the staff in the company working overtime, they envy the teachers who teach, and the teachers who are thinking about how to improve the students' self-motivation to learn, they envy the ease and freedom of freelancers, and the freelancers who don't work for a day and have no income, but envy those who live in Behind the scenes, nothing needs to be done bosses, and bosses who deal with various matters in the business world every day, envy housewives who do not have to work at home, and housewives who have to bring up their children every day and deal with matters large and small at home, but envy company employees who can have a job of their own ......

It seems that everyone is not satisfied with their current situation and is more eager to get other people's lives, but they do not know that their lives are also envied by others.

I have two friends, and something very interesting happened between them.

My friend A is a housewife, her daily job is to stay home with the kids and take care of the big and small things in the house.

My friend B owns a candy store and takes care of it by herself.

Friend A envies friend B for having her own time and space every day, having a very stable income, and meeting all kinds of people every day, unlike herself who is alone every day, besides watching the children or doing housework, she feels that friend B's life is very exciting and rich, and she is very envious; while friend B feels that friend A is living a very good life at home every day, unrestricted, unlike her who can only stay at the candy store every day. Unlike her, she can only stay in the candy store every day, and can not go anywhere, so she is also very envious of friend A's life.

So in a coincidence, they decided to swap lives, since both sides feel that each other's life is better and more desirable, so why not experience each other's lives, friend A went to friend B's candy store, taking care of the candy store business, while friend B went to friend A's home, to experience the life of cleaning the house with children.

After only one day, the two people found something wrong, friend A found that friend B's life is not as simple as she thought, all matters need to be handled by herself, facing some customer pestering and some business matters, so she felt very troubled, she somewhat misses the moment when she was a housewife.

And friend B, after experiencing the life of friend A, found that friend A's life is not much better, every day faces a need to take care of small children and a bunch of tedious household chores, as well as a variety of small and large things in the home, only it looks free but very boring.

They finally found out that the life they envied was not for them, or the original life was more suitable for them.

We all envy other people, but when we live other people's lives, we find that many places are different from what we think.

The life you envy is not necessarily the life that suits you. Instead of envying other people's lives, you should live in your rhythm and cherish the life that belongs to you.
