My husband has been pruning blackberry canes. It’s a stickery, time consuming job, but it has to be done. Blackberry canes only produce once. If allowed to remain, the production of berries this year will be harder to get to. Old, dry, dead blackberry canes get very pokey and stiff, unyielding. So it is precarious at best, to move around them to get to the new crop of berries.

There are some things in our lives that are like old, dead blackberry canes. We are super grateful for them because they produced a huge return on investment previously. But it is time to cut them out and move on. It’s time to look forward to what IS going to produce this year.

Letting go of old limiting beliefs is sort of like this. They served you at one time, but now, you are in a new place. Old beliefs have no place, and even hinder your progress once they are no longer yielding fruit.

I loved what Coleen on our call this morning said – when she gets rid of unwanted yard waste, she even burns it so there is no chance of it coming back! This practice could be applied when we identify beliefs we never want to entertain again – burning the bridge that might allow us to return to them.

This Daily Gratitude Call gives us courage to make the necessary changes in our lives. It is a community of like minded individuals who choose to level up every day.

It may be a difficult task to prune, but the result is a plant that has more space to grow and flourish, producing like never before!

I Give Myself Permission to Prune What is No Longer Useful

• I invest the time and energy in pruning now, in order to enjoy a productive and abundant harvest later
• I choose the most powerful and productive opportunities
• I discern and embrace the best opportunities for me
• I know that those things, relationships and opportunities I say ‘no’ to, are meant for someone else
• I am courageous in cutting out all the dead and useless things to stimulate my growth
