Help – My Lawn Sucks and Only A Few People Care -Translated
Growing up in the city we didn’t have lawns. We had concrete. If you were lucky you had a small patio and maybe a small deck. One thing I’ve learned about having a lawn is if it sucks, only a few people really care. How do I know this? Because our lawn currently sucks! And it seems like not too many people care. So who cares if your lawn sucks? Let’s explore, then I’ll translate this for you…
Depending on where you live your neighbors might care because their houses are closest to yours. Do they really care about your lawn? Not really! They only care because your bad lawn may be driving down their property value or just annoying them. Then, you care and just about everyone that lives in your house cares. Only you and the people closest to you actually care. Other than that, not too many people care. I’ve also learned through experience that even landscapers and lawn services really don’t care unless you make an effort to bring your bad lawn to their attention by stalking them with phone calls and emails. So what am I getting at?
If Your Lawn Sucks Only A Few People Care – Translated – If Your Life Sucks, Only A Few People Care.
Before you think I’m being harsh or cynical remember a few things…
First: When I use the term “life sucks” in the context of the article define it as any area in your life that you know needs some improvement. Define it as any area of your life that you really want to improve.
This is not about having a bad attitude, no way! It’s about working to make things better. There are many items on my list that I’d like to improve (including my lawn) and I know you’ve got a bunch too. We all do!
Next…
Success is a relative term and so is thinking “life sucks.” What is success for you may not be the same for someone else. What seems to be a mountain of problems to you might be nothing compared to the problems of another. The point is you define success in life just as you define what frustrates you. It’s all relative. At the end of the day you can choose to improve your situation or you can leave it exactly the way it is. Yes, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement, but you make the choice to improve. So who really cares if you improve your situation?
Hopefully you care enough to improve it since it is ultimately up to you. The people closest to you care because your improvement may directly help them in some way. But other than that, unless you’re effecting them in a negative way nobody else really cares if things are not going well for you.
So what to do?
Don’t be sad. If you’re not totally happy with where you are it’s OK because you can improve if you want. Identify some goals, write them down and start working on them. Take little steps for sure, but remember to take a lot of little steps! I’ll be stepping right along with you and may be even sprucing up my lawn in the process.
