The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It

The grass is greener where you water it

The grass is greener where you water it
That's where it will keep on growing
It always seems so obvious
That we assume this sense of knowing

But often we forget
That the simplest actions count
By taking one step each day
We can move forward in our lives

The grass is greener where you water it
It's greener 'cos you did the work
You paid attention and made an effort
Put actions to your thoughts

So, don't be looking
So far to the other side
Thinking it'll be so much better
If you aren't prepared to pay the price

The grass is greener where you water it
Consistent action every day
It's lush and bright, and beautiful
Because you gave it your best play

Make the time and effort
Give it everything you've got
And one day you'll look back
And appreciate your growth

"The grass is greener where you water it." 
~ Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers football team. Quoted in a motivational communication from Reid Tracy at Hay House.
