What Are You Watering?

Your soul garden grows whatever you water, and your attention is the water. Focus on the worry, the resentment, the worst-case story, and those grow tall and crowd everything else out. Focus on what is good and what you want, and that grows instead.

So the question is simple, even if the answer is not. What are you watering? Most of us pour our best attention onto the weeds without ever noticing we are doing it.

You do not have to rip the whole garden out today. You just have to notice where the water is going, and gently turn it toward what you actually want to grow. And the weeds? You pull those out by the roots, or they come right back.
