Our lives are full – full of stuff, full of responsibilities, full of distractions. Anyone who works with plants knows that sometimes the best thing for a plant is to prune away everything but the most healthy branches. In the process the gardener will seem to be pruning branches that are good, but if left on the plant, they will steal away nutrients from the best branches.
Our lives could all use a pruning – an evaluation of what is and is not important – and a reduction, leaving us healthier in the best parts of life.
Minimize what’s not important so that you can maximize what's most important.
