Daily Mindset

“The grass isn’t greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it.”

What if someone told you that everything you need to succeed in your goals is right in front of you?

It might be hard for us to believe them. But why?

Comparison is often the reason. We look to someone who has already reached their success, and we convince ourselves that what we have just isn’t enough. It can cut us at the knees, as we now run the risk of never even trying with what we are, and where we are, today.. Roadblocked, by our own comparisons.

But what if someone tells you the same thing, and you don’t have the opportunity to compare? That it’s a new endeavor the world has never seen?

The illusion of the “greener grass” is nothing but a trap. There’s only delay and cancellation as results. It’s a distraction from the single resource that truly matters: hard work.

The world-class set of golf clubs doesn’t teach a proper swing. Practice does.
