"Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side"

We've all heard the saying. But here's the Truth-The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's greener where you choose to water it. That "greener" life we imagine usually reflects something we're craving right now - excitement, stability and appreciation just to name a few. But trading places won't automatically give us those things. They come from intention, effort and cultivating what we already have. Sometimes the other side is a better fit, sometimes not. But other times the real change happens internally and not externally. If you're feeling pulled toward something "greener", pause and ask yourself. What exactly do I think I'll find there? Am I chasing something new, or running from something uncomfortable.

Problem is, the grass needs more than water.
I understand the cliche platitude but most people have complex relationships. They do the watering, the weeding, the feeding. Making sure there is enough light and the temperature is right. Eventually you need to move on after the grass dies and rots.
