The Gardener of Your Thoughts

“Don’t Water your weeds.”

Harvey MacKay, author, self help expert 

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

 

The gardener of your thoughts

 

If you have weeds in your garden remove them.

 

When the weeds in life are creeping up around you remove them and don’t give them chance take root and grow.

 

Don’t give the weeds a chance to take over the garden where your thoughts grow.  Remove the weeds from your thinking and give your mind the room to grow without being hindered.

 

The weeds are the distractions and negative thoughts that clutter your minds and your thinking. Those weeds have the capacity to derail your success and pull you off course.

 

Become the gardener of your thoughts and when weeds begin to pop up; remove them before they take over the garden of your thoughts. When you remove the weeds from your thinking your mind becomes clear to follow a pathway of positive thinking.

I love the quote and the thoughts you shared. It seems so simple a thing to just feed the positive and not the negative to enjoy a better life. Sometimes simple and easy aren't the same things...but we should all be trying to follow this advice.

That is certainly a great visual. I will share this thought with my family.

Lou,

That's a unique way of looking at things. We do need to focus on the positive.

Sounds a little like the parable of the sower of seeds..   Those weeds sure can take over if we let them.  :)

Just a few words with so much meaning. Always a constant battle to remove the weeds! Enjoy your day!

Still true ten years later - our minds are ours to nurture. If we let the weeds grow, it'll stifle and/or kill all the new growth.

There is nothing quite like a regular maintenance plan.

When Lou Ludwig wrote this post in 2011, it was sound, wise advice.

Lou is no longer with us.

The advice still stands as it always will.
