The grass in my own yard is actually quite green too

It is Monday.
The start of the work week.

Some have irregular schedules,
some are students, or in other positions.

There are many situations,
but regardless, it is the start of the week✨

But, however!
The day that marks the beginning,
can sometimes make you feel
a bit melancholy🫠

Ah...

It looks like it's going to be busy.
This is going to be hard to do.
I don't want to.
I don't want to do it.
It's such a hassle.

At times like that, we
envy those who are not in our position.

If you are a student,
"I wish I were an adult already."

If you are a worker,
"It must be nice for those who have today off."

Whether you are a homemaker,
or retired,
it is the same for everyone.

Surely,
no matter what position you are in,
there are always
troublesome things, aren't there?🤔

And once your position actually changes,
regarding the people you used to envy,

"No, no, I have it harder than you."
"Why don't they understand?"

You might even think things like that.

The grass is always greener on the other side.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

So this was an English proverb.
I've become a little wiser😏

Yes, people always,
see others' lives as better than their own👀

What does that mean?
In other words?

If you try to
objectively view yourself,

aren't we also always in a position
that others envy?
💡

For example,

“It looks like it’s going to be busy”
→It’s great that you’re so fulfilled✨

“It’s tough to do this”
→It’s cool how you fulfill your responsibilities😆

“I hate this. I don’t want to do it”
→You’re trying to take action, you’ve got drive😁

“This is such a hassle”
→It’s amazing that you can handle such tedious tasks😲

Something like that😏

That’s right.

We always get
depressed,
find things a hassle,
and would rather just lounge around if we could.

But, from someone else’s perspective, even that is,

being fulfilled,
having a sense of responsibility,
and having the drive and ability to execute.

You might just be
that kind of superman💪

Once in a while, while looking at yourself
with the same eyes you use to look at others,
instead of the grass on the other side,
try seeing the grass in your own yard as green👀

Even if the grass has withered a little,
in your heart,
let's dye it green✨

When you're stuck and can't do anything,
is this way of thinking no good🫠?
