Life is a balance - if we allow us to become the type of people who refuse to see the weeds that are taking root in our gardens, our delusions will destroy us. Equally destructive however, is what happens to those people, who out of fear constantly imagine the garden overgrown and choked with intractable weeds. The leaders path is one of balance. He notes the weeds with a smile upon his face, knowing that the weeds visit to the gardens is all but over - but - he’s spotted them, he can and will immediately act to remove them.

We dont have to feel negative about weeds. They’re part of life. We need to see them, acknowledge them, focus on a solution and immediately do whatever it takes to eliminate their influence from our lives. Pretending that they are not there wont make things better, neither will becoming inflamed with anger by their prescence nor devasted by fear. Their continual attempt to be part of your garden is simply a fact of life.

Simply remove them, and do it in an emotional stae of playfulness or joy whilst you’re getting the job done, otherwise you’ll spend the rest of your life being upset, because their will be more weeds, no question, they continue to come up. And unless you want to live in reaction to the world everytime problems occur, you need to remember that they’re actually an important part of life. They keep you vigorous and strong, they keep you vigilant in noticing what needs to be done to keep the garden of your life healthy and rich.

We need this same approach with the gardens of our minds - notice immediately when we start a negative pattern - not beat ourselves about it - not dwell on it but simply break that patterns as quickly as we discover them and replace them with seeds of emotional, physical, financial, spiritual and professional success it comes down to decisions.
