The Grass Isn't Always Greener

Sometimes the grass is only greener cause it’s fake. - I remember growing up going to my grandparents house in Phoenix where it’s like 110 in the summer. So many peoples yards would be absolutely fried but every once in a while you’d drive by a house with what appeared to be a perfectly manicured lawn. It wasn’t till you got up close to it that you could see it was Astro turf. - I think the same applies to all of us. A lot of us are living this drive by from a distance view of someone else’s “reality” thinking how come their grass is so green and my yard is burnt to a crisp. - It isn’t till you get close to the other side that you understand that a lot of times what you are seeing as your “perfect reality” is indeed a fraud. - Especially now a days, we are bombarded with advertising and persuasion trying to sell us every thing imaginable. I know because I am in that industry. I take photos to try to sell products or locations. Not that that’s a bad thing, but photos are taken on a set that is by definition fake. - People message me quite often saying they’re jealous of my life and to be fair I am extremely blessed and grateful for the opportunities I have been given, but you don’t see the amount of hustle and work that goes into doing what I do because it’s not interesting and sexy. In fact it’s pretty boring so I don’t post it, but dealing with logistics, email, revisions, admin etc. makes up about 70% of the time I spend on my business. I love what I do so I wouldn’t have it any other way, just wanted to give some perspective on it. - So stop comparing your reality to someone else’s. Most times what you see is not the whole story. - Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙
