Dumping
Yard or a Garden?
In a busy city, there was a person who had an
independent house surrendered by some empty land which had some unwanted plants
and weeds adjacent to his neighbourhood.
The neighbouring
house was empty for a few months and it was purchased by a new person. The new neighbour
started cleaning the house and started disposing the waste on the empty land,
which was not noticed by the landowner.
One fine day he saw his empty land with unwanted
waste and he decided to remove it by himself.
After a few weeks, he noticed that his land was
getting used as littering zone and he didn't like the way it was handled by his
neighbour. Due to his submissive nature, he was in a dilemma about whether to
confront his neighbour or not.
One day he narrated these incidents to his close
friend who is not only a well-wisher but also a psychologist too. The
psychologist had a lengthy discussion with him and suggested few measures to
ensure his land will not be misused for dumping waste.
Next day the
landowner hired a person to clean up the land and took the help of a landscape
Consultant who converted the unused land into a beautiful Garden within a few
weeks.
One day the neighbour
came to the terrace and he was surprised to see a beautiful Garden with colourful
flowers and he decided to take some snaps. While he was doing so, he saw his
maid, who came with some waste to dump it in the neighbour’s land and he
immediately stopped her from doing so.
After a few months, the garden was filled with
flowers and some fruit-bearing trees. The neighbour who witnessed this volunteered
to appreciate the landowner and gave some new plants and requested to pluck
some fruits too.
The psychologist visited the garden and appreciated
his friend’s efforts to maintain the garden.
One day psychologist was lecturing on the power of the
mind and he took the above case a reference.
He said the mind
can be a dumping yard or a garden, it depends upon how we maintain it.
He narrated
the following; in the first stage my friend did not take care of his land and
hence his land was filled with weeds. Similarly, if we don't maintain our mind,
we start developing unwanted thoughts
In the second
stage, the overgrown weeds and unwanted plants attracted unwanted waste and his
land become a dumping yard, Similarly, the mind with unwanted thoughts attracts
negativity.
In the third stage, the new garden is like a fresh
mind which prevents unwanted thoughts
In the fourth
stage, the beautiful Garden is like a positive mind which not only attracted to
give some positive thoughts, it also resulted in taking some positive ideas
too.
The psychologist concluded by stating that mind and empty land has something in common "Maintenance and Cultivation"
A well-maintained land can become a garden as well
as fruit-bearing yard, similarly, a well-maintained mind can become a beautiful
zone of positive thoughts as well as it can motivate self and inspire others
for well-being.
Remember your
mind is like an empty land it can either be a dumping yard or a garden, it depends
upon you and your Attitude towards your life.
Happy
Gardening, Fruitful Harvesting
