As A Man Thinketh: Discover How To Stop Attracting Weeds In Your Garden of Life
by Yukio Phillips
Why are there weeds in my rose Garden?
When I was a child, I helped my mom and dad pull weeds in our garden. I thought weeds were just odd looking plants and I didn't understand why we had to pull them.
My mom explained to me that if we did not pull the weeds it would continue to grow and take over our beautiful garden.
It was also important that we pull the weeds from the root to prevent them from growing back.
I shared that story with you because it relates to how we live our life at times. We have a vision of having our goals and dreams come to life. But when we look around, we see the opposite happen.
James Allen author of As a Man thinketh says,
"Mind may be likened to a garden which may be intelligently cultivated or neglected, it will and must bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein and will continue to produce their kind"
Are you attracting or distracting your dreams?
I mentioned in the beginning of the article that I had to learn to pull the weed from the root to prevent it from growing back.
In the same way, that is what we have to do with our lives when our dreams are out of focus.
Getting to the root of distraction is difficult and involves really looking at yourself and asking why.
A lot of time fear is at the root of the weed.
When I looked at the root of the weeds in my life I found that fear of rejection ruled my garden.
I would get excited for an hour about my dream and then I would talk myself out of my excitement. I would frustrate myself so much that I would just give up.
Take a moment and see what is causing weeds to grow and smother your beautiful dreams.
What could you do right now to take a step in the right direction? All it takes is one step.
The universe rewards your effort with the next step for you to take.
We have to trust what our hearts tell us and know that what is planted in the heart can be produced in life.
Be Bold to go after your dreams and watch the weeds wither away.
