I am a Plow



"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.
