This planet is an exquisitely arranged and interconnected system. What's controlled in one place is going to have consequences in another place. Our job as gardeners is to try and figure this out no matter how small our allotted space might be. Discipline has to be the watchword for our controlling hands.

It is at once the stronghold of the ordinary and the shrine of joy.

If I were to prescribe one process in the training of men which is fundamental to success in any direction, it would be thoroughgoing training in the habit of accurate observation. It is a habit which every one of us should be seeking ever more to perfect.

- Eugene G. Grace

Eliminate something superfluous from your life. Break a habit. Do something that makes you feel insecure.
