Don't water the thorns!

There is constant struggle to achieve happiness, to be fulfilled, to find success, or to acquire the perfect balance in our lives. Our mental attitude dictates that we must concentrate on the row of "white roses" that are laid in front of our feet and water them constantly. They represent everything that we desire in life. By that I mean, a positive attitude, the right outlook, an optimist approach to many challenges, etc. Words are cheap!

We grab the hose and get ready to water those white roses but are unable to step over an imaginary row of thorns closer to us. These thorns represent our misgivings about life, insecurities, doubts, and fears to name a few (I am sure you can add to this list). The water never reaches the roses. We spend that precious resource on each of the thorns while hoping that one day we can reach the rose patch.

The day that you decide to stop watering the thorns no matter how painful the experience, you will discover the white roses extend beyond your wildest dreams.

It is a simple choice. Time for you to decide.
