The Grass Ain't Always Greener

The Grass Ain't Always Greener

Are you one of the people who believe the grass is always greener on the other side? Are you one of the ones who believe the grass ain't always greener on the other side? Are you one of the ones who don't give a shit either way?

People who believe the grass is always greener may be procrastinators. People who believe the grass ain't always greener may be pessimists.  People who don't give a shit are either the happiest people in the world or the most negative people in the world.

Personally, I don't want to count on the grass being greener because that means I'm counting on the future instead of living in the present. I truly believe the future will be fabulous. However, I also believe that the decisions and actions I make today will help create that fantastic future.

I'm neither a procrastinator nor a pessimist. What I am is a realist. I believe I'm in control of my happiness. I believe I can choose a path toward happiness or I can choose a path toward negative energy. Either way it's MY choice. Therefore, I choose the path where the grass ain't always greener. 

Choosing that path will keep me centered. Choosing that path will keep me real. Choosing that path will enable me to focus on my happiness today instead of hoping it will be greener in the future.

Because I'm the blogger, I have the luxury to talk out of both sides of my mouth. To that end, the times I believe the grass will be greener is when I'm having a really bad day. Doing so gives me the power to believe tomorrow will be a better day. Therefore, sometimes when I need to believe the grass will be greener; it enables me to get through a bad day with a smile on my face.

OK, enough about me, what about YOU? Do you allow yourself to sometimes become a grass ain't always greener person and sometimes a grass is always greener person? If the answer is YES, you get it. If the answer is NO, you need to take steps to find more happiness in your life.

Just remember, you have the option to be happy. You can choose to make minor and major decisions that will lead to your happiness. Some of those decisions might be painful today, but if you don't procrastinate, all of those decisions will lead to a happier life.

The best way to allow yourself to make those happiness decisions today is to believe:

The Grass Ain't Always Greener.
