The Grass Is Greener Where?

The grass is greener where?

As a child, I was often told, “The grass is always greener on the other side.”

I think I grasped the idea, and I would try to be happy and content where I was, rather than thinking that things were better “over there” than where I stood.

As an adult, this quote directly connects to gratitude for what I have.

But now I prefer another quote about grass: “The grass is always greener where you water it.”

We all have moments when we feel that life would be better “if only”: If only I was thinner, richer, more successful, more something other than I am. This feeling is part of the human experience.

But it is only when we decide to take responsibility for the life we are living now that we have the choice to make this life — the real one — greener.

Complaining about a situation in our lives and doing nothing other than wishing it was another way, or believing that “the grass is greener,” will never shift or transform anything.

We always have the power to water our own grass.

If you are feeling that the grass is greener over there, and perhaps a little dry and arid over here, here are some ways to start watering your own grass today: The Grass Is Greener Where? | Kemi Nekvapil.
