A Thought to Keep With You
Next time you hold a banana peel, pause before throwing it away.
Ask yourself:
“Am I throwing away something useful without realizing it?”
And then gently ask yourself something deeper:
“Where else in my life am I doing the same?”
Because sometimes—
What we discard too quickly
is exactly what we need to understand better.
