We are always looking for the next thing. We love our job, but still look for something better. We have a reliable car, but trade it after two years, and end up upside down because something is newer. We end relationships because we think we can or should do better.
I'm not saying that we should not strive for something better or stay in unhappy relationships. There are times when we need to walk away.
Yes, the grass is greener on the other side. What we don't stop to take into account is that it is because it is AstroTurf. That "grass" on the other side is fake, an illusion, an unhealthy obsession.
Think about all the things, or people you want (that you don't have). Is it really going to make you happier? Is it going to make your life more fulfilling?
Instead of worrying about the greener grass, take time to enjoy what you have. Enjoy the way your grass feels under your bare feet. Enjoy the way your grass smells after a summer rain. Enjoy the trees that provide shade to your grass. Enjoy the bees that pollinate the wildflowers.
Greener grass does not sustain life. Greener grass does not energize your senses.
Greener grass does exists, but who needs greener grass when you already have what you need in your OWN back yard!
