“The grass isn’t greener” -Kevin Ilich
Today I want to talk about “the grass is greener” mentality…
No, not because every single one of my neighbors have a lawn irrigation system and I am jealous… that has nothing to do with this!
I want to talk about what to do when we catch ourselves staring at other people proverbial “lawns”
We all do it… even if you don’t live within 5 miles of a neighbor, or don’t have a “lawn” to take care of…
So much of our life in today’s society and cultural climate with social media is spent dwelling on what we ought to be doing. We should be more like that mom on instagram, we should workout as much as that dude on tiktok… we should be as financially disciplined as John at work…
It is easy to be fixated on the things that we don’t have or the gifts people have that we don’t possess.

Jealousy
The Grass is greener.
Today’s lift is a reminder.
Water your own lawn.
What would it look like if you started tending to your struggling marriage?
What would it look like if you scheduled a doctor appointment or your ailing mental health?
What would it look like if you finally paid for the personal training that you know you need to learn your way around the gym?
Often the last thing we do is invest in our own “lawn”
Today do something that will contribute to the long term health of your context.
It is the best investment you will ever make.
