Weeds

In every garden, weeds will grow. You can plant all types of beautiful flowers and yet weeds will still find there way in all spaces and sometimes even take over. If left alone, they can overshadow the flowers, taking precious nutrients and eventually they will overtake the entire space. They longer they are allowed to grow, the stronger the roots become making it that much harder to pull out. At that point, it can take so much time, energy, and strength to clear that space again.

Our lives are just like a garden. We plant beautiful flowers every day with ideas and goals. Yet weeds will find a way to grow in our lives when we allow negativity, fear, and unhealthy decisions to be present. The longer we allow these thoughts, feelings, and actions to swirl around, the stronger those roots become and eventually they overtake our thoughts. It then feels like an insurmountable task to pull out the weeds to clear our path to once again allow or ideas and goals to flourish. 

Our job is to continue to pull out the weeds every single day and to not allow them to overtake our lives. If they do, it's also our jobs to ask for help. Some people are great at weeding. Call upon them to help clear your space so that you can once again see the beauty that is before you. What will take up the space that the weeds were inhabiting? Well that's an easy answer - flowers you didn't even know where possible to grow. 

So go on, be the gardener of your own life and create the most beautiful version of yourself.
