When things get too difficult, there is a tendency for people to wonder if it is the situation for them. Often times people wonder if it is better to be somewhere else. Many times, there is a tendency to always want to know if the grass is greener somewhere else. Many hours are spent thinking if I was at this destination with these resources, with these guys or this amount of money I can be here. Dedicating time obsessing over what isn't there versus what is already there will never fair well.There is an old saying a bird in the hand is more than two in the bush. Meaning what you already have now in the palms of your hand is more important than what you are seeking elsewhere. What you have in your hand could be what someone else is praying for.

You build relationships that lasts longer than where you were at. Focus on the goal and task at hand. When you build something meaningful eventually you will be at the place you were thinking was greener.

During months that have less rain it can become dead very fast. However, we only see the top part of the grass. If time goes on a the grass doesn’t get any rain the roots began to die. Within our lives we typically have high and lows even within our profession, or our life. We typically start off very strong when we get fresh blessings, new job, or new accomplishments. It’s easy for us to water the new blessings. We are high off excitement we have a new found joy being in a new place, new accomplishments. Within our life there will be times where it’s a dead period. No highs, no accomplishments or any wins. Will we still love the thing that we are set out to do with the same vigor. Will we still keep watering our garden to not allow the roots to die. A lot of times people allow the roots of their dreams to go dry and die out. W...
