Book Excerpt
In my yard at one point, I had three beautiful red plum trees. They were planted when we first moved to the land. After about 10-12 years, I noticed little red off-springs popping up across the yard. They were everywhere and stood the chance if they were not mowed down quickly or regularly of producing a crimson forest in my front yard. I had to cut down my lovely mature trees in order to stop the forest. I believe that is what we have to do with every negative thought or unproductive behavior in our life. The longer we take to address the issues, the harder they are to excavate.
