4 “Simple” Steps to Create the Success You Want
It’s so simple it’s easy to ignore
“The grass is always greener in the other guy’s yard.”
We use the phrase as a companion to comfort us when we feel others’ lives or accomplishments are better than ours or more easily obtained.
“Woe is me” — it justifies our complaints.

They tended to it more.
Imagine if you did the same with who you are. Nurtured, cared for and grew into your greener self from where you are.
