Don't Be a Cow
October 18, 2022

The common saying is that the grass is always greener on the other side.  The meaning behind it is that someone has it better than we do, that we are envious or jealous of another person.  That you are not satisfied with your life or place in life and things are better somewhere else. 

 

You should find pleasure and blessings where you are now and focus on the good you have, no matter how trivial it may seem to you.  Think about how you can make things better – both in the short and long term – for yourself.  Identify wins you want, of all sizes and go after them.  Make sure you keep your priorities intact and do not worship false idols (an upcoming post). 

 

And remember, to a cow the grass is always green no matter what side of the fence they are on.  And you know what happens to cows – nothing good. 

 

Wishes for a great day to all, 

Hugs too, 

David/ 

 

PS:  Did you remember to drink a glass of water when you woke up this morning?

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
