Salaams and Good Morning ! Here is your daily dose of Wisdom for Living Your Best Self!It is said that your mind is like a garden and the thoughts are the seeds.
Consider this: if you were the gardener of your mind, what would be the state of your garden? Would it be full of flowers or full of weeds?
Think of the negative thinking patterns that we have been talking about like weeds. Leave them alone or give them too much food and they are likely to take over, set deep roots and crowd out the flowers or positive thoughts. The longer you let them run wild, the harder it will be to get rid of them and the worse the state of your garden.
Over the last few weeks we have been, in a sense, examining the landscape of our garden and surveying the weeds. We have examined them, discovered the species that are growing roots in our garden and learnt about how they operate.
It is now time to start taking action to clear our garden of weeds so that the flowers may flourish.
Ready? (Or are you really really in love with the weeds? ;)
Wishing you a day full of positivity, purpose and peace.
Warm blessings
Marzia
