Friend,
It’s weird…
The older I get, the more I appreciate nature.
My morning routine now consists of strategically positioning the $38 sprinkler I got from Bunnings (one of the best purchases I’ve recently made) into different areas of the front verge, front lawn and back lawn.
There’s just something magical about watching the morning sun shine through the water from the sprinkler onto the green lawn.
I guess this is what happens when you turn 35?
Lol.
My current project has been bringing the front verge back to life.
A few months ago – it was dry, dirty and not much to look at.
But since consistently watering it, pulling up the weeds and mowing – it’s starting to transform.
It’s amazing what a bit of TLC can do.
My Dad always taught me to take good care of what I have.
It took me YEARS to really appreciate the lesson he was teaching me.
For example,
Even though we rent, I treat this place as if we own it.
I want to keep the lawns looking great (you should have seen them when we first moved here). I want to add value to the property. I want to leave this place in a better place than we found it.
Some would call me crazy for this.
Why am I investing time, energy and money into something that’s not mine?
But there’s a principle I know and live by.
If you are a great steward of what you already have, then you will be given more to take care of.
This principle applies to everything.
Your career.
Your relationship.
Your finances.
Do more than what’s expected.
Put some TLC into what you already have.
And not only will you be given more, you will start to appreciate what you already have.
