Water the Flowers, Not the Weeds
By Thomas Bien
Excerptions :
To encourage beneficial mental states, seek experiences that stimulate them and avoid unnecessary experiences that encourage harmful ones.
Don’t rush past these marvelous experiences (smell of the rain, blue skies etc.), treating them as if they are unimportant. To treat them as unimportant is ultimately to treat yourself as unimportant. This is your life: enjoy it!
When you encounter something positive and healing, pause with it, lighting the lamp of your mindfulness to savor and appreciate it.
There are many lovely things in the world. Why focus so much on the potentially destructive ones?
