DREAM HOUSE

There was a little girl who lived in a small house. From their very simple house, the girl often looked across the valley, where a big house with its golden windows glistening under the sun stood. The little girls thought that she would be very happy to live in the big golden window house. Although she lived happily with her loving caring parents, but deep down her heart, she could never wipe her dream to live in the big golden window house. She just kept her dream in her mind until she grew up.

Could not resist her obsession about the big golden window house, the young girl asked permission to her mother to see it. Trying convincing her mother, she was allowed to go and return before lunch time.

Riding her bike, the girl went to the other side of the valley. When she finally arrived at her dream house, she was very happy. But in the next moment she felt disappointed since the house was not as perfect as she ever dreamt of. The golden window in fact wasn’t made of gold. It was just an ordinary golden paint glowing under the sun. The house wasn’t also as beautiful as she imagined. It was a dirty and abandoned house; no one lived in it, no one took care of it.

When she turned her body to the valley, she saw her small house. From the place where she stood, the house seemed beautiful. She saw a place where she was born and raised with love, and suddenly the house seemed very interesting to her. Even though it wasn’t a big golden window house, she finally realized that it was her real dream house, a place where she could find the warmth of a family.

Note:

Sometimes we focus on something that doesn’t belong to us. We want it badly because we think it is much better than what we have now. We don’t realize that all this time we already have what we want, that everything we have is more than enough for us.
