Lesson 5: One person can't be the only one growing a garden

A couple months ago, I wrote a blog post on my Legacy Movement blog about Friendships and Relations being like a garden.

I wrote this:
Someone once told me that your heart is like a garden full of flowers. Some will walk by your garden and see nothing. Some will walk into your garden and steal flowers. And others will come into your garden and not only help you to remove the weeds, but also plant more flowers for you. These are the friends you should keep. These are the relationships that you should keep. Guard your garden, guard your heart.

However, I'd like to add something:
Sometimes you realize that you've had only one person plant flowers for you to the point of being dependent on that person and not wanting others to come in. There is only so much one person can do to grow a garden. Sometimes you need to let that person go, to allow space for other people to enter your garden and to allow your garden to grow even more.
