In life everyone is constantly in search of the illusive greener grass that lies ‘on the other side’, most of us are too scared to take a moment and look around us to see the gifts that lie at our finger tips, we are afraid that the gifts that life is offering us will not measure up to our expectations or we will not be able to hold onto them, so with tunnel vision we continue our search for the illusive greener pastures which may lie somewhere in the distance.
The grass may always be greener on the other side, but the secret is to look around you and realize that although it may be greener, you are surrounded by opportunities to create an abundance of fragrant flower beds, exquisite large shady tree’s and soft warm mossy ground beneath them, where grass cannot grow but warmth, comfort and love can flourish...
The secret is to look around you and acknowledge the gift offering that life sends your way and stop feeling upset because you don’t have the illusive ‘green grass’ which everyone is searching for.
The secret is to see all the incredible gifts and opportunities you do have and to take them, to be grateful and happy and rejoice in them, treasuring and nurturing them so that they will not feel neglected and slip away...
If you can do that, one day you may just wake up and realize that, ‘that green grass on the other side’, pales in comparison to the beauty that is your life.
