You are the Master Gardner of Your Soul
Think of your mind as a garden where you can intelligently cultivate it
or allow it to run wild. Whether you
tend to it or not something will grow there.
If you don’t plant good seeds of thought, then a bunch of weeds will
sprout up and like most weeds they can quickly turn a garden into a mess. Only
with constant weeding and cultivating can the good seeds of thought continue to
blossom until eventually there are more blossoms and fruit than weeds.
The weeds will still creep in from time to time to disturb your
beautiful garden (mind) but with practice you become aware of it much quicker
and like a master gardener you are able to weed out all the wrong, useless, and
impure thoughts and cultivate toward perfection the flowers and fruits of
right, useful and pure thoughts.
Why does this matter, because circumstances grow out of thought? Every thought – seed sown or allowed to take
root there produces its own blossoming sooner or later into action and bearing
its own harvest of opportunity and circumstance. You can be the master gardener of your
thoughts and create your garden or let the weeds take root and see what
happens. The choice is yours. You really do reap what you sow.
