The Seedling

Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind-elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny.

Here James Allen reminds us that we are the master-gardeners of our souls. We must discard thoughts that are fearful or unfaithful to the vision of our worth ideal, and we should nurture with great care the thoughts that are faithful to it.

Which thoughts and thought patterns that are unworthy of you and your vision could you disrupt and discard today? What are some thoughts that are faithful to your vision that you could replace them with?
