The Greener Grass

This is not my typical blog...usually I say something that's on my mind in a more poetic form, but tonight...I'm just speaking REAL!

There's a saying that says "The grass is not always greener on the other side..." well I want to take a few brief moments and elaborate on this. In the world that we live in now, most people (notice I didn't say all) don't like to deal with hardship. Everybody wants the easy way out!! From jobs, to school, to relationships, cars...everything needs to be easy. People don't even want to work hard to lose WEIGHT..they would rather go either get expensive weight loss surgery OR try taking diet pills that supposedly will trim you in few short days. And why do people fall victim to things like this...BECAUSE THEY THINK THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!

Example: (we'll use relationships) Bobby has a girlfriend that he's been with for while. She's everything that he's ever dreamed of and he truly has feelings for her, but like any other relationship, they have problems. Some times she gets on his last nerve and it's days were all they seem to do is argue. Now Bobby sees his friends who aren't really committed to anyone but are out having fun and just doing their manly thing on a daily basis. Seeing this, Bobby starts to think that maybe he should just be single. After all, he's young and he shouldn't been committed to JUST ONE. So Bobby goes dumps his girlfriend and begins living this life. After a few months, Bobby realizes this isn't what it's all cracked up to be. He's tired of dealing with "fly by night" girls and constantly partying. Now guess what...Bobby wants to go back to his girl......the grass isn't always greener...


Now see I could go on with plenty of examples how people see something with the naked eye and automatically think its better than what they already have. Sometimes, yes, the grass is greener, but before you decide to switch to the "other grass" maybe you should think about the work, effort, etc, put in to make the grass as green as it is. This all comes down to enduring the trials and hardships. STOP ACTING ON IMPULSES...THINK THINGS THROUGH...WEATHER THE STORM!!!

Things in life that's worth having you have to work hard for....work hard to get and work hard to keep. And here's another thought...the "greener grass" could just be a pretty front! This goes hand in hand with "everything that glitters isn't gold." So be thankful for the grass that you have and if you see something greener...instead abandoning yours, try putting in some work to make your even better!
