I was never fond of clichés until I found myself in the middle of one and it hit me like a ton of bricks (wow…see how that works). One of my great challenges in life is for me to see that I am important and worthy of the abundance that the universe has to offer. I had always envied those people that found out early in life what they wanted to do and set upon their journey in life and had great financial success. The story I told myself was they were wealthy and therefore happy, and since I was not wealthy, I would not be happy until I was. That was not my path, at least in this lifetime. This is very true. Back to the cliché……After doing some emotional work, I was sharing with my daughter Kelsey how sad I was that I had not had the financial successes others had and that I had not provided her and Madison luxurious vacations or bigger homes or more toys or etc., etc., etc. Before I could even get to the part about how I was working on loving myself anyway, she said “ But Dad, you are richer than all the Dad’s I know because money has nothing to do with being rich. You are rich with love.” Talk about being frozen in my footsteps…….Was she making me feel better or could this cliché really be true…..one look in her eyes and I knew she spoke the truth……the grass is never greener on the other side…..so again, once more, I bow to my teachers,……..my daughters……they know the grass is always green…..on either side.
