Lessons from the Garden: May 2019 – Slow Down

/ Lessons from the Garden / By

Don’t neglect this moment because of the future potential you see.

The more I focus on the end result, the more frustrated and impatient I become with this moment. 

I think…”if only I can get to the finish, I could avoid the mess in front of me.”

Truth is, that if I don’t slow down, look around, access and learn from this moment, from this tangled confusion of emotional knots; I will never achieve my goal. 

I will be left with a massive mess of what could have been, but never became.

Potential is nothing unless acted upon.
