Hey ,
So, my monstera plant, my green, leafy pride and joy, started playing host to a thrips party.
If you're going, "Thrips, what the heck, Wilko?"...
They're these tiny critters that love munching on plants.
Not fun house guests.
I’m usually the "say no to chemicals" kind of guy.
You know, the one who believes nature has all the answers (I still do, but hear me out).
But these thrips? They were like uninvited guests who wouldn’t take a hint.
So, in a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap, I caved and bought the most hardcore bug annihilator I could find.
Yeah, me, spraying insecticide like there's no tomorrow.
Felt like a bit of a sell-out, not gonna lie.
But here's the
thing.
Sometimes, you’ve got to toss the rulebook out the window to get things done.
It's like in business.
We all have our 'never ever' lists…
But then reality throws a curveball, and suddenly you're
waaaaay outside your comfort zone doing the Macarena on TikTok.
This isn't me saying abandon your principles at the drop of a hat.
It's more like, be ready to get your hands dirty when the situation calls for it.
Because let’s face it, the world isn’t all black and
white…
It's a gazillion shades of grey (and green, in the case of my monstera).
So, if you ever have to play by rules you never thought you would, don’t be hard on yourself.
Just know you’re doing whatever it takes to win.
Hope that helps.
Catch you later,
Andrew ‘Wilko’ Wilkinson
