You ever notice that weeds never grow singularly, and that they usually overtake an otherwise good lawn or garden if left unattended? This is also what happens when you surround yourself with others who are bad influences or allow them to remain friends even though you know they are not true friends or allow a relationship to continue even though you know the other person has no good intentions for you. You should never be surprised when the lawn or garden needs major landscaping.

Everyone knows what a weed looks like, even the ones that are kind of pretty. And even though we sometimes don’t want to admit it, we know what a bad seed looks like, even when they are kind of pretty or handsome. It is up to you to eradicate those weeds from your lawn or garden; otherwise, they’ll just multiply and overtake the place.

When you allow others to influence your actions or continue to associate with others who do bad acts, you have no excuse when any resulting bad acts are either committed by you or the association causes some discomfort, so you should be prepared for the consequences. This includes becoming addicted to a substance.

Landscapers can fix your lawn or garden and eliminate the weeds, but you have better results if you remove yourself from those associates. And the sooner the better. If needed, seek professional help to do so.
