Tend The Field

Your mental state is like a field—either fertile or flooded.

There will be times when growth is limited not by lack of potential, but by overflow. Unchecked thoughts, emotions, and pressures wash over the landscape, drowning what could otherwise take root.

Expand the land—or rebuild the dam.

There will always be seasonal surges. Stress. Responsibility. Change. That’s inevitable. What matters is whether your foundation holds. Reinforce it with solid core values. Use them as anchors to regulate the flow.

Attend to the landscape. Repair what’s broken. Establish proper irrigation.

No one else can do this work for you. If you neglect it, the field suffers. If you tend it, growth follows.
