Though it may not seem that way, nothing ever just pops up out of the blue, whatever happens is a result of seeds that have been sown.
See your life as a garden and whatever you have in life is like fruit hanging from tall beautiful trees or mini, cute, little shrubs or ugly, harmful weeds and thorn bushes.
Believe it or not, everything (each thing) in your garden began with a seed that was sown. If you could take a look at the timeline of existence, you'd see that SEEDS have been landing in the soil of your garden, some of them before you were even born.
If you are reading this, I'd have to assume that you are of a tending age. This simply means that you can begin to actively look after your own garden. So I'll skip past the part that we all had no control over and jump right into the current existence of our gardens.
The good news is that from this point on, ALL the controlling factors of your garden begin with YOU. The seeds that are sown, the soil they are sown into and the way that they are watered and looked after, all begin with you. The problem is that most of us fail to recognise this and leave TOO MUCH to chance (or 'whatever happens, happens' attitude).
There are too many things going on in our gardens that we don't know about. Too many things we UNKNOWINGLY permit. Too many seeds we sow without considering the fruit that will eventually "pop up" in our lives. Too many seeds we hold back without realising the beauty and pleasure we are depriving our gardens of.
How we go about tending our gardens is our responsibility and I'd encourage every reader to go and study and find out more about how to do so.
Such simple yet deep and profound wisdom. Something we can all take from.
