Is your grass green?

Consider this comment posted by a FB friend of mine:

"The grass is always greener where you fertilize and water it."

It's easy to get into a comparison or complaining binge. When things are tough or just not happening the way you would like it's tempting to look around and think about how it might be better if you did what the guy with the green grass is doing.

The truth is this: his grass is green is he is caring for it. Whatever type of grass, whatever plot of land he chose to grow it on, he's caring for the grass. It's not about the brand of sprinkler head or the style of fertilizer spreader; it's gaining a little understanding about quantity and frequency then going out and doing it. Then doing it again, and again.

And if the grass is having a problem he may tweak his approach and see what happens. He may do a little research or call in an expert to give him some advice. Then it's back to following through with the action.

Action: Fertilize and water your grass. Whatever it is you want to do or change, put in a little time, effort, energy. Learn about it then do it, and do it regularly.
