"Just as you would not neglect seeds
that you planted with the hope
that they will bear vegetables and fruits and flowers,
so you must attend to and nourish
the garden of your becoming."
~Jean Houston

"A well-kept garden filled with flowers
Has no room left for weeds to share;
The mind keeps out unworthy thoughts
When loveliness is dwelling there."
~Leona Bold Martin

"Imagine your mind as a garden and thoughts as the seeds you plant. Habitual negative, unhealthy, self-critical thoughts produce the weeds and thistles of depression, discontent, and anxiety in the garden of your mind. Luckily, the opposite is also true. Consistently planting positive, healthy, constructive thoughts will yield a crop of beautiful feelings, such as gratitude, love, and joy."
