The Grass is Greener

Whose world do you water?  There is nothing wrong with watering someone else’s garden, but there is something wrong with neglecting your own.  Whether it’s a wife, husband, home, children, community, family, friends, profession, team or actual garden, if you only pay attention to other ones AT the expense of your own, you will end up with neither.

>One Is Apt To Complain

>While this may be true of those looking up with envy, the quote actually made me think of those who are higher up. For every person we see above us, there is someone who didn’t rise as far. What is your attitude towards them? Are you looked at as that person who is ungrateful? Have you considered who helped you and the gratitude you owe them?

Maybe it is the administrative assistant who first helped you understand the complexities of office politics. Now that you are a manager, are you still paying attention to that person?

Maybe it is a family member who first showed you how to use a camera and explained how to organize your photos. She remained a hobby photographer. You have gone on to professional photography, but have you stopped to thank that person for helping you on your way?

anger, envy, jealousy, Job Elmer Hedges

>Lots of People Know a Good Thing

>What the heck is that thing, anyway? Why is purple duck-lip guy (girl?) kneeling and kissing it? What is its purpose and value?

Green comb-over guy doesn’t know. All he knows is someone has something he doesn’t have and that makes him jealous and envious. He will now pay a lot of money to get a gold thingamajig just like it.

I wish I had a hundred of them in my garage to sell.
