I like the saying – ‘the grass is greener where you water it’. Yes, everyone puts up the best pictures, best light, new car, sunny days, happy children. Would be even more depressing otherwise haha!
I needed this today. Sometimes when I’m working on my novel, I feel like I’m down the rabbit hole–that no one but me with ever read this and say well done or powerful or you made me cry. Yet, no matter the end result, I will continue to work on my own grass–and when I’m not writing, to read others work, see how their grass is coming along.
Boy, am I guilty of this. When I see those beautiful travel photos online and I’m stuck at home and can’t get away I get jealous and sometimes sad. I love my momma, you know that but I wish my life were my own and I could do what I want when I want. I think I’ve earned it by now lol.
So very true.Thank you for the gentle reminder to focus on ourselves.♡
In this age of social media, comparing lives is all too easy. Its important to focus on “our own grass” so to speak. Good advice.
I love that. I’m too busy working on my grass to worry about your grass. In yoga, we try to teach everyone to stay on their mat. Meaning, don’t look at someone else and compare your pose to theirs. You might be trying to compare your 4-day post to their 500-day pose. You don’t know their journey, you can only know your journey.
You are right it is so easy to see in others lives what we wish was in ours. Maybe it’s human nature to yearn for something better, or at least what we perceive is better from the outside looking in.
