The quote, 'The grass is always greener on the other side" is a cautionary tale about envy. The comparison game can never be won - there will always be someone or something 'better out there'. It is also true that grass - actual grass - is always greener in the places where you water it the most. Same with the Inner Life. Our goals and dreams must be watered in order for them to grow, but are they getting enough? Life demands so much of our time and energy that there may not be as much left over for growing yourself. Also, the watering hose may be leaking, disconnected from source, or obstructed with distractions of a hundred kinds. Make sure these are shored up, then direct your life energy and watch yourself grow!
