I do some of my best thinking in the shower. Yesterday, I had an interesting analogy come to mind. Here's the abridged version: Your mind is like a garden. The thoughts, desires and emotions are the foliage growing within. As you dwell on thoughts or give energy to certain ideas you are watering the individual plants you are fostering.

Simple enough, right?

I have two questions for you now...

How long has it been since you weeded your garden? With the garden of the mind, you dispose of "weeds" by simply forgiving. Forgiveness doesn't mean to forget the weeds. No! You must understand what caused the weeds in the first place, then extend mercy on yourself and understand how you can change the situation should the weeds begin encroaching on your beautiful plot of soul again.

Second Question: What are you nurturing in your garden daily? Are you nurturing the weeds or the flowers of your mind?

I desire for your garden to be full of the exact plants you desire.
