Plant seeds of growth and cultivate with intention. Weeds grow automatically if you leave space for them to do so. We have to begin with intention to grow what is worth growing. The more focused our efforts the greater our likelihood of success.

Start your day eating healthy food. Don’t leave space to get hungry and crave donuts.

Start your day with exercise. Don’t leave space to feel drowsy and complacent.

Create before you consume. I read Seth Godin’s blog every day, but I wait until after I’ve posted too, to ensure my thoughts are my own. Similarly I journal before reading every morning. Most importantly, express your thoughts in some way (journaling is a great exercise) before allowing a social media algorithm to decide what thoughts and feelings you will have for the day.

We have the opportunity to design our day, and our life. We will do a better job of it than the weeds. What will you choose to design?
