I WAS WORKING IN MY RAISED
FLOWER BED TODAY
CUTTING OUT THE WEEDS THAT
WERE OVERTAKING MY IRIS PLANTS!
I HAD ALLOWED THE WEEDS TO GET OUT OF CONTROL
I KNEW THEY WERE GETTING BAD
I JUST IGNORED THEM
I MADE MORE WORK FOR MYSELF
WITH MY PROCRASTINATION!
I HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON MY YARD IN GENERAL
I ALLOWED ALL THE WEED AREAS
TO GET COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL
MAKING IT HARD TO GET THEM DONE AT ONCE
I FINALLY DECIDED THEY NEEDED TAKEN CARE OF
I MADE SO MUCH MORE WORK FOR MYSELF!
I HAD TO TAKE EACH AREA A LITTLE AT A TIME
A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME
SEVERAL DAYS HAD TO BE DEVOTED TO THE WORK!
IF I HAD CHOSEN TO KEEP UP ON THE WEEDS
I WOULD HAVE HAD LESS WORK TO TO
LESS TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE TASK
IT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE KEPT THINGS LOOKING NICER!
PROCRASTINATION IN LIFE IS LIKE WEEDS
YOU PUT OFF WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU
KNOWING IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TIME TO FIX
YET, YOU STILL MAKE A
CHOICE
NOT TO TAKE CARE OF IT
IN THE END
THIS CHOICE,
MAKES IT MORE TIME CONSUMING
HARDER TO RESOLVE
DEFINITELY MORE WORK!
IF YOU HAD JUST TAKEN CARE OF IT
AS SOON AS YOU KNEW YOU HAD AN ISSUE
YOU WOULD HAVE MOVED ON
TO MORE PLEASANT ACTIVITIES SOONER!
LIFE CHOICES ARE LIKE THE WEEDS
IN MANY WAYS
SITUATIONS CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL
WHEN YOU DON'T ADDRESS THE ISSUES
IMMEDIATELY...
RESENTMENT CAN GROW
ROOTS OF DISSENSION CAN DIG DEEPER
EVEN SMALL, SURFACE ISSUES
CAN BECOME A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM
WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE
WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO AVOID
WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO PUT IT ASIDE.
PROCRASTINATION WILL ALLOW
RESENTMENT TO GROW
THE ROOTS GETTING DEEPER AND DEEEPER
SO WHEN YOU FINALLY ADDRESS THINGS...
IT TAKES LONGER TO WORK THROUGH
IT LEAVES BEHIND SEEDS OF DOUBT
THAT CAN RETURN LATER
TO START GROWING DEEP ROOTS ALL OVER AGAIN.
THINKING OF HOW THE ONCE OVERGROWN AREAS
LOOK SO MUCH BETTER ONCE I HAVE PUT IN THE WORK
I WAS THINKING THE SAME FOR
OUR PROCRASTINATION IN LIFE SITUATIONS
RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE REBUILT
RESENTMENTS CAN BE AVOIDED
FRUSTRATIONS CAN BE KEPT LOW
COMMUNICATION CAN MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BALANCE
YOU FEEL BETTER
THE OTHER PERSON FEELS BETTER
LIFE CAN BE MUCH SMOOTHER
WHEN YOU DON'T AVOID
WHEN YOU DON'T PROCRASTINATE
WHEN YOU PUT IN THE WORK REGULARLY
WHEN YOU KEEP THE WEEDS OUT!
HOW CAN YOU ENSURE THAT WEEDS DON'T GROW
IN YOUR FRIENDSHIPS
IN YOUR PERSONAL REALTIONSHIPS
AT YOUR WORK PLACE,
WITH YOUR COWORKERS AND MANAGERS?
ACTIVELY ADDRESS ISSUES AS THEY ARISE
DON'T MAKE A CHOICE OF PROCRASTINATION
DON'T ALLOW 'WEEDS' TO GROW
KEEP THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION OPEN
WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG
ALWAYS TREAT ONE ANOTHER WITH
RESPECT AND HONESTY
WORK TO BE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS
THAT WORK FOR BOTH PARTIES.
WILL THIS PROCESS ALWAYS BE
A PRETTY ROSE GARDEN?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
IN LIFE - THERE WILL BE THORNS!
THERE WILL NEED TO BE WORK PUT IN
YOU WILL NEED TO BE ALERT!
THAT GOES FOR THE OTHER PARTY AS WELL
THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU
THEY HAVE TO VALUE THE RELATIONSHIP
AS MUCH AS YOU DO FOR THE FLOW TO WORK!
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CLEAR OUT THE WEEDS
IN YOUR FRIENDSHIPS
IN YOU RELATIONSHIPS
IN YOUR WORK RELATIONSHIPS
IN YOUR FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
EVEN A SMALL PLANT NEEDS SUPPORT
AND CARE SO IT CAN CONTINUE TO GROW!
YOU WILL FEEL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORK
LIKE HOW IT IS WITH
A WELL-TENDED FLOWER GARDEN!
DON'T FORGET THE WATER
WATER
IS THE LIFE-BLOOD OF GROWTH
THAT MEANS :
ATTENTION
CARE
INVESTED TIME
LOVE AND COMPASSION
EMPATHY
WHERE ARE THE WEEDS YOU NEED TO REMOVE?
WHERE DO YOU NEED TO ADD WATER TO?
IT IS SO WORTH THE EFFORT!
YOUR SOUL WILL SING
YOU WILL SMILE MORE
AND THE SUN WILL SHINE MORE OFTEN!
I HOPE THIS ENCOURAGES YOU
NOT TO PROCRASTINATE
TO CHOOSE TO DO THE WORK
WATERING ALONG THE WAY
SO YOU CAN REAP ALL THE WONDERFUL BENEFITS!!
BLESSINGS!
