-thoughts on life, death and gardening.

Get On With It

life’s not easy,
stop trying to make it so.

life's not fair, never was,
isn't now, never will be.

climb out of that entitlement trap.
stop feeling like you're a victim.
you are not.

life’s not easy,
get over it!
get on with it!

define your success, then
put in the work to maintain it
tend your garden daily.
nurture the important, weed out the rest.

our most valuable asset is time.
prioritize who you are who you want to be
stop spending precious time with any thing
that compromises your character
stop spending precious time with any one
who antagonizes your integrity

decrease options.
get rid of excesses, get rid of wasted time.
by process of elimination,
you will have left only the important.

invest your precious time in healthy places.
create outcomes that pay back with interest.

do things that turn you on, fill you up,
things that keep your fires burning.

life’s not easy.
get over it!
get on with it!
