A man once asked his gardener why his plants grew so beautifully.
The gardener answered:
“I don’t force them to grow. I remove what stops them.”
Translated into our lives:
You cannot produce a human baby in one month — for some cosmic reason, it has to remain nine months. Understanding this is part of being a mature adult, but it also helps us comprehend the Laws that govern our lives.
Serious, depressing, and even heartbreaking problems begin when we go against these Laws and Principles that govern this complex world we inhabit.
Put simply: when we refuse to accept, acknowledge, and appreciate the hard facts of reality.
Without going any further, I’ve begun reflecting on my own life — and asking:
What things are in my control, and what things are outside my control?
Because:
Once a man truly grasps what is within his control — and what is not — he becomes dangerous.
He becomes a force of nature.
All the effort and concentration he devotes to the things he can control begin to compound.
And over time, this focus subtly and powerfully influences the things outside his control:
luck, circumstance, opportunity, situations, timing.
So I ask you:
What garden are you cultivating in your personal life?
And what can you focus on removing — not forcing — to allow its natural growth?
Focus on that. 🌱
