Water Your Own Lawn

                                                         

“If the grass is greener somewhere else.

Start watering your own lawn.”

You are rarely satisfied with your own situation. You always

think others have it better. You perceive other people to have

it better, or something they have is better than it really is. It rarely

is. You think things are better in another situation, but when you

get there, they are not. “Things” are hardly ever as great as what

you perceive them to be, nor are they as bad as you had feared. It

seems to be in your nature to want something different than what

you already have. You are always tempted and envious of what other

people have, or more correctly what you think they have. This goes

back to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and eating

the “forbidden” fruit. You should focus on nurturing and improving

what you already have. Envy is poison. Instead of lusting after what

you think other people have, work on your own house. Water your

own lawn. Eat healthier. Work out. Work hard at your craft. Practice

to get better. Be grateful for what you do have. Your expectations are

rarely what reality is.
