“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today”

Simplified Meaning:

People often delay truly enjoying their lives because they're waiting for some perfect moment in the future. They imagine a better, dream-like situation that isn't real yet, and this distracts them from the good things they already have. For example, someone might keep telling themselves they’ll be happy once they get a promotion or buy a bigger house. Meanwhile, they miss out on precious moments with family or the beauty of simple pleasures around them. By always waiting for something better, they ignore the happiness they could have right now. So, it's important to appreciate what you have today, rather than always looking for something better tomorrow.
