I hate them. Why are the least liked things, the things
determined to stick around, the hardest to eliminate? I just weeded the flower
bed. No matter how often you pull weeds up, they seem determined to
return. Why aren’t flowers that
persistent? If you unwittingly yank out flowers—say good-bye—you’ll find
yourself replanting more flowers in the spring. But the weeds? They’re
resilient. Here’s what resilience looks like:
Ignoring weeds simply helps to hide unpleasant things. We
often ignore hard-to-eliminate bad habits, too. Instead of
eradicating them, we talk about eliminating them, end up giving up, and living
with them. Ignoring bad habits leads to
consequences, repercussions, and perhaps reparations. Is it time to turn over a
new leaf? What’s the “weed” in your life, and how will you eliminate it?
