Be Happy In Your Grass
Posted by Jamie Hutson | Filed under Life
Many times I find myself looking into other people’s lives and wondering what it would be like in their shoes. I have a habit of jealousy towards others, whether it be their shoes, their car, their website design or layout, among a host of other things. One thing I’ve taught myself is that you have to be happy in your own grass - happy with yourself.
While this can apply to every aspect of your life, the one in which I have been applying this of late is my career. More specifically the direction my company has taken. While building and designing the product I deliver, my deepest ideas have never evolved into something tangible. However, I have always managed to do the best I can with my given resources.
Here is where this comes into play for me. Often I find myself in the face of larger, established competition, and its very easy to say “if I had their resources…” but the thing that keeps me going strong is that I do not have their resources. In fact I don’t have anyone’s resources but my own, but I still manage to out fox them.
While the grass on the other side of that fence may look greener, softer, more lucrative, whatever - you never know what goes on to make it. If you’re not happy with your grass you can always, trim it, nurture it, feed it or tear it out an make a garden. As long as its your grass and you’re doing the best you can with it, you should always be happy in it.
