Greener is not always greater

One of the saddest states to be in is to feel that your life is not enough. You are not enough. What you've been given is not enough. This self-devaluation causes you to compare yourself with others, straining to check out the grass on the other side of the fence. "She's more successful than me." "He's got more money than me." Well, I've dwelled in that sort of prison for years, not allowing myself to love who I am, who God has made me to be.

I propose that the grass might be greener on the other side, but not necessarily greater.

Everyone will have a "day" in the spotlight, when all fronts are lovely, everything is going well. But basic science will tell you that the sun rotates. Although your side of the fence might seem a little dim, and your grass pale, just wait--the sun will shine on you eventually. And although it is not the popular thought, I'm learning to love my time away from the spotlight. Obscurity is not a bad thing! The secure person knows that even in less than optimal times, my worth remains constant. My life is enough. And I don't have to hate on anyone else because of what they have!

Green is great, but loving where I am is even better.
