If you think the grass is greener on the other side, you can be damn sure that the water bill is higher as well...
~A very wise person~
Envy is a terrible thing.
Too many people want what other people have without thinking about what they probably had to go through to get it. For every seemingly happy person living their life in riches, success and abundance, they probably sacrificed a lot of blood, sweat and tears in hard work... or did something immoral/illegal. And for every seemingly 'perfect' relationship... you never know what is going on behind closed doors. Or how hard that couple had to fight external threats to their relationship to survive.
Stop wanting what other people have or being resentful of them. Be happy for those who are happy, especially if they've been through a lot to get there. You may not be where they are yet, but instead of saying, 'Why can't I have that too?', learn to shift your energy and say: 'I can't wait to have that as well!'
Everybody gets their turn.
Be grateful for what you have. Be grateful for others who have what they want.
And always be mindful that the greenest grass was probably fertilized by the most shit.
"The greenest grass was probably fertilized by the most shit"...so true
ReplyDeleteHa ha I love the last line "the greenest grass was probably fertilized by the most shit"
ReplyDeleteWell hopefully with all the shit i put up with my grass will be greener than the Garden of Eden.
Thanks for the notes chick.
my most fav post of yours! well done for saying it like it is. Too many ppl think success in life, relationships, careers etc come easy to some people but just because they dont harp on about it or publish all the details of their lives, doesnt mean they didnt work their asses off or made incredible sacrifices to get there. God gives you what you can carry.
ReplyDeleteEnvy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has.
