On the topic of grass

Disney cartoons are generally known as entertainment for children, but for grown-ups who listen carefully, it's also possible to pick up gems. I found one at a time when I was listening in with with the younger generation watching Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers,.
We all know the expression that "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" - an expression that I am not overly fond of - because I think we live in the best of all worlds, as we live in the only one - but with the Rescue Rangers I heard something that unites "the grass is greener" with my approach to the world. The gem was spoken by the wonderfully named Monterey Jack, and in all its simplicity, it goes like:

The grass is always greener when you remember to water it.

To stay within the metaphor: As I see it, I have only one lawn - but there is a world of difference between taking the lawn for granted as opposed to giving the lawn the care and attention it needs - and Monterey Jack's words should be an inspiration for all those who see their metaphorical grass fade while the neighbor's lawn flourishes.
Perhaps you should rather look at the neighbor's watering can ​​to become wiser?
