Tip of the Week: Be the Gardener
By Ashley Huckabee
Instead of viewing love as transactional, Will Smith proposes that we think about love in the same way a gardener thinks about their flowers.
The gardener wants the flower to become what it wants to become. What it was designed for, not what the gardener wants it to be.
How many overbearing parents want their kids to be “special” to be proud of them? These parents impose their wants and needs on their kids without thinking about whether they want to achieve anything at all.
Yet, the gardener doesn’t care whether the flower becomes red, yellow, tall, small, or when (or if) it blooms.
The gardener accepts everything about his flower. He is patient. He waits and observes with care, attention, and wonder at what has become of the little seed the flower once was.
