I confess to always wanting more &#8211; to be thinner, taller, richer, prettier &#8230; you name it, I&#8217;ve wished it at some point.<\/p>\n<p>But it was only when I paused for a moment, took a step back, and took a good critical look at my life, that I realized that whilst it was fine to wish to be all those things, I really should just be happy with being just me, and enjoying my life right now, instead of craning my neck over the horizon to see what might be better. I have all my 5 senses intact, I have all 10 fingers and toes, I have a roof over my head and food in my belly and am relatively hale and hearty.<\/p>\n<p>I really am not doing too badly, everything considered \ud83d\ude42\u00a0Being ambitious is one thing, being unhappy with being who you are, and not doing much about it, is another.<\/p>\n<p>And when I had that realization, I also learnt to be a little happier with what I have and with being just me. Of course, some of the wants are still there, but I try to not let it upset me anymore. I now look at things more critically \u00a0and I&#8217;d like to think, am a lot happier for it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"alert\"><strong>Your say:<\/strong> Are you happy being you?
