About this Quote

This quote by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola is a metaphor for how our actions and choices shape our lives. It suggests that whatever we pick to concentrate on and cultivate in our lives will ultimately bear fruit. If we focus on favorable, efficient activities, we will enjoy the benefits of our efforts. On the other hand, if we focus on negative, unproductive activities, we will suffer the effects. The quote also suggests that our lives resemble plants, in that we will grow and develop based on the choices we make. If we select to nurture ourselves with positive activities, we will grow and grow. Conversely, if we choose to overlook ourselves with negative activities, we will wither and pass away. Eventually, this quote is a suggestion that we are in control of our own destiny which the options we make today will identify our future.
