This summer part of my irrigation system in my yard broke and it didn’t take long for that part of my yard to start to look a little brown. It wasn’t because the grass was bad, as a matter of fact, the grass was the same exact grass in the rest of my yard. The reason the grass looked so bad was because it wasn’t getting the attention it needed.
Some people say the grass is greener on the other side, i’d like to change that saying a little… I think a more appropriate saying is,
The grass is greener, where you water it.
It’s easy to see the difference between dead grass and lush green grass. The difficult thing is to be honest enough with yourself to ask, “Is this area of my life dead (struggling) because its bad or because I’m not giving it enough water (attention)?”.
Before you go looking for greener pastures, make sure you are watering the pasture you have right now because if you do get greener grass and neglect it the same way it will die too.
