One of the best analogies that I've ever heard regarding our minds is the one that compares our minds to a garden spot. This was mentioned in Napoleon Hill's book: Think and Grow Rich. Weeds can grow very easily in our gardens if we are not careful. We must consciously spend time in our gardens every day working on it and planting flowers and giving the flowers plenty of nourishment. At the same time, the weeds must be removed. If we pay no attention to our gardens, then weeds will take over and will soon be out of control. At that point, it will take a lot of gardening to get rid of all of the weeds.
Planting good seeds to me means reading good books, exercising, prayer, eating healthy, writing in our journals, learning from mentors, self love, taking care of ourselves, getting proper rest, setting goals and working to achieve them, and constantly learning. Similarly, pulling out the weeds can be compared to eliminating bad habits, watching less or no TV, and getting negative depressed people out of our lives.
