Maintaining momentum is like pulling weeds

I don't know about you, but sometimes I would prefer not to have to do so much. It would be so nice just to sit down and watch the roses.

But I know that if I stop for too long, I lose any kind of momentum I had built up over the last little while and I know I will struggle to get going again. It's like weeds, if you don't pull the weeds regularly - sooner or later, you go out the back - and wonder where on earth they all came from - again.

Take any part of your life, if you aren't keeping a keen eye on everything, sooner or later the weeds creep into the cracks.

For example - relationships. Do you remember what it was like in those first few heady days / weeks / months? Do you remember how you found time to do things together. You'd "go out" and you would have fun. Picnics, movies, dinners, wandering around parks, spending time together - because you wanted to. Then after a while, the phone calls would drop off, you wouldn't write those letters and notes, and if you happened to share a house with the person - you'd do your "thing" while they would do theirs.

Everything needs attention. Everything and everyone in your life, needs an eye kept on it for the weeds that accumulate.  Go on, admit it, you do let some things slide, don't you. You say - you don't have the time to do everything. Well as I have always said - you will always find time to do things you want to do.

So, are you willing to have a good look at where the weeds are in your life? And then of course, you have to decide whether you are willing to get in and pull them out, or whether you are going to let your "garden's" go to waste.
