That ain't grass....that's dirt.

Good afternoon,

“The grass is always greener on the other side”……

I know that you have heard this one before. It’s the idea that someone is looking at someone else’s situation, seeing all of the positives, and magnifying all of the negatives in their own situation. What we have to become conscious of is that we don’t know what it’s taking to make that situation look that way. Are they working as team to make it look effortless? Are they fronting and putting on airs to make it appear as if everything is on the up and up? Could it be the same grass as yours but since it’s not yours, it looks better? There are times that we are soooo busy looking at other people’s grass that it to be so much greener than ours. The real deal is that the focus is on the wrong yard. When we pay attention to other people’s lives, we neglect our own….therefore giving the perception that the other persons’ life is so much nicer. Tend to your own grass. Do some research, ask some questions, and find a way to make your life better. Heck if you want you can always ask your neighbor for tips. The resources are out there to make your life the exact way you want it to look. You have to remember that not everyone’s life will look the same. That’s not how the world is designed. If everything were supposed to be the same then I wouldn’t even be writing this post because we would all be the same. There would be no need to vent, encourage, or remind because we would all be programmed the same. Since we are not, get to know your own situation. Learn what works and what doesn’t. Put in the work in your own yard and you may just find that you already have yard of the month!

AND remember we don’t see things as they are….we see them as we are.

MAKE IT GREAT!

  2. They'll tend to their own for a little while but will still be wondering other pastures. In all my years, I've come to the realization that men are never satisfied

    1. I don't feel that it's not that they are never satisfied. I don't believe men are created to have just one. They are hunters....and I get that BUT once you make a decision to have one then you have to be adult enough to make that decision everyday.
