I am always looking to better myself, however, I often question myself.  Before I sign or commet to any changes, i ask myself, "At what/whose  espense am I willing to make this or these changes?"

The grass MAY look greener on the other side, but most often you will encounter many shades of green. It might not be what you are looking for.

I other words....BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR".

This idiom is an unquestionable fact and each one of us faces it at a certain stage of his or her age. Certainly, it is also true to me. Many things, situations and events fascinated me in the early years of my life but .......after sometime I did realize that The grass looks greener on the other side and I need to make effort to reach this greenery.

The grass is always greener on the other side because it is fake and it is not our grass so it is nothing more than an image that we desire. The issue is not to reach the greener grass on the other side, if you want green grass then work hard and make your own grass green, weed it, fertilize it, trim it, create the right environment for that perfect green grass to grow. Unfortunately unless you can appreciate and be satisfied with what you have already then there is nothing on the other side that would make you any happier. In the end grass is nothing more than a useless weed that wastes water,  its better to be creative and productive, take your patch of brown dirt and grow some flowers or vegetables and learn to smile at what you have achieved. There are enough sheep eating that greener grass already so do you really want to be just another sheep anyway?
