Is That Grass Really Greener?

December 6, 2019

There's always going to be something or someone to tempt us. Do we think we're lacking something? Is it a phase? Before you start to build that fence of comparison, ask yourself "How is this separation a reflection of me and what I already have to what may be?" What are you trying to deny? Sometimes we talk ourselves into believing what we've already built isn't good enough. No one is asking you to settle, but have you? We settle for things/people because it's our comfort zone. You don't have to put too much effort into making things exist. At some point we have to make ourselves uncomfortable to know the difference. When we become stagnant, our expectations are the same. We can't be afraid to explore the beauty or the ugly of life. This is how we learn who we are, who we strive to be and who we no longer want to be. This may include your profession, relationship, body image, friendship, etc. Think about your foundation- is it strong enough to keep building? Or is it worth building a fence to compare something new to what you already have? Hmmm, is that grass greener? Change your mindset. You have to put conscious work into the things/people you desire. There will be resistance-challenge it, keep pushing. What you are lacking is what you're not giving. Anything that comes easy was conveniently available. Anything that you put the effort into will be forever rewarding. Remember, grass can only be greener if you water it!

Or maybe...
