We have all probably heard this saying at least once in our lives. “The Grass is always greener on the other side”. I feel like this saying can give us the mindset that our life is not as good as someone else’s. I feel like our life is what we make it. It is all about perspective. If we are always comparing what we have to others we will never be content.
Don’t get me wrong, it is great to always strive toward our goals. But if our mindset is “I will only be happy if… happens” Instead we need to say “I am happy I have this right now but I want to strive for that next”
“The Grass is always greener on the other side” has so many responses that can put it into perspective:
The Grass is always greener on the other side…
-Because it has been watered. So if we nurture our lives and take care of ourselves than our grass will begin to get greener
-It is actually astroturf. So the grass is not really grass. It is something fake. Do you really want something fake and superficial? Or do you want something that is real and healthy?
-It is greener because it has been fertilize with cow manure. So this is another way of saying it is not what itseems. It is not the truth. It is full of lies.
-If you take the time to water your grass it will become greener too. So you need to nurture and take care of your life. And it will soon bloom and flourish.
-You can better the water bill is higher
-Because there is a fire hydrant there
-Because it is not mowed
