About this Quote

This quote by Paula Cole speaks to the concept that success can be a double-edged sword. When we are having a hard time, we typically strive for success, thinking that it will bring us joy and fulfillment. However, once we accomplish success, we might discover that it is not as satisfying as we had hoped. We may find ourselves longing for the simpler times of our past, when we were not burdened by the expectations and obligations that include success. This quote suggests that the lawn is not constantly greener on the other side, and that we ought to appreciate the minutes of our lives, both the highs and the lows.
