"You'll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind" (old Irish saying)
I am a plow. My life is the field,
the weeds
are my faults, and
the flowers
are my
strengths.
I can
choose
to spend
my time
growing
flowers
(practicing
certain
skills).
I can
spend
my time
pulling
out weeds
(gettting
rid of
my faults).
I can
choose
which
weeds to pull out (choose which
fault to focus getting rid of). The
plow can change the field in the
same way I can change my
life. I can choose how to
shape the field and the
wellness of the field
depends on how
much work I
put into it.
The same
thing
goes for life. I can choose my own destiny and choose my future depending on how much work I put into studying. Plows represent control in our life. We can control the direction of our lives, just like a plow can control the wellness of a field. P.S. I know its a shovel but the plow was too complicated.
First of all, its really cool how you made the words in a plow (even though its kind of distracting). Its also a good metaphor, and something we all should try to do.
