"Roses that are left unpruned can become a tangled mess of old and new canes, all competing for air and light." Elizabeth Roth As the rose busgh grows, it creates more buds than it can maintain. It doesn't grow like a tree, as it's physical size is limited, but the buds keep on coming. If we don't trim the buds down, the whole bush can exhaust itself and die. Ideas are like rose buds, they constantly need to be pruned or trimmed. If we don't trim our ideas, just like the rose bush, we can overwhelm ourselves. Growth ideas are natural and it's completely normal ( and a very good thing) for the new ones to come on a daily basis. But if we want to reach our full potential, it will require pruning, trimming, and a critical look on what needs to stay; and what needs to go.
