Some people search their whole life to find something that will make them happy. They look for a constant state of euphoria. They think that true happiness comes and stays forever. They imagine a life that is carefree and laughter, but cannot obtain that. They don't understand why the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.
I know why. Technically, when you look at grass from a distance, it does look green. When you stand on the grass you can look down to the roots and dirt. That isn't attractive, but it is necessary and it is real.
Wrestling (and life) is like that for me. There are times that it looks like a lot of fun when you are looking at it from a distance. In reality, it takes work, dirt and sweat. These things aren't fun, but they are necessary. I've learned that fun, and success, comes in short intervals, surrounded by lots of hard work and effort.
Want to be happy? Enjoy the moment for what it is, not what you think it should be. Don't lock it up in a looking glass. Learn to play in the dirt and like it. Laugh and let it go. You will look back and see true happiness because you won't see the dirt and work anymore. You'll just have the memories, the roots, the happiness.
