It seems it’s human nature to want something someone else has, but when we do that it’s easy to forget all that we have. Sometimes the product of all our hard work goes unnoticed; we’re so involved with our businesses we forget to appreciate our accomplishments. I was talking with my husband recently and brought up all these things I wanted to be doing and accomplishments I wanted to achieve because I was feeling stagnant. He graciously reminded me of all that I HAVE accomplished, which ironically was everything I had in mind when I started Be Inspired PR. I’m the type of person that is always pushing for better, dreaming for something bigger and setting goals that sometimes seem impossible. While all that is necessary for a business to continue to grow, we need to take time to appreciate how far we’ve come! For you, it may be frustrating if someone has more blog comments, more clients, more twitter followers or higher traffic on their website. That doesn’t mean we need to go chasing after someone else’s grass!
We all have so much to be proud of and if we take time to remember that it will fuel our drive far more than someone else’s accomplishments will! A positive and optimistic attitude will take us much farther than envy and jealousy. So while someone else may seem to have greener grass, remember all the blood, sweat and tears that went into yours!
