If you have ever done any gardening, you know that they will grow healthier and more colorful when you prune bushes or flowers. Pruning is the key to growing award-winning rose bushes. No matter how much you want a particular rose to survive it just can’t and not pruning it could cause the whole bush to die.
The same is true for people. Sometimes, no matter how much we want someone to change they just won’t. We have to prune away things from our life that are holding us back and diverting us from our goals. Change is hard, especially when it comes to ending something. However, you can create urgency by taking a hard look at your circumstances to boost your motivation.
If you are feeling stuck in a rut or in a difficult relationship that is going nowhere, or even that unsatisfying job, get out your pruning shears. Start cutting away the things that are holding you back from greatness.
