Pruning…

We, the BTL builders, are gardeners. We are here to provide the conditions for your growth. We cannot make you into something you are not (nor is this necessary) any more than a gardener can plant seeds for strawberries and turn them into watermelons. Our opus is to provide the conditions for you to grow into, well, Y.O.U.!

We know only a few have the desire to completely blossom. Most just want to be left alone and produce whatever fruit comes “naturally.” So, when you notice a BTL builder spending an inordiant amount of time pruning, watering, and focusing on a few – all you’ve got to do is ask for some attention to come toward you. As gardeners we won’t cut you to your roots when you do. We will prune as best we’re able, but it’s still an imperfect process – it’s gonna hurt.

Remember, pruning is a good idea until you’re the one being pruned.

When was the last time you asked to be pruned? Do you understand this is why growth and loss go together? Are you more pruner or prunee? Why is it important to be both? Slow down and sit with this one for awhile. Slow down.

Live hard. Love harder…
