Sow It, Reap It
It's true, what you sow you reap.
If' you've ever tried to grow a garden you know that meticulous care is involved in reaping what you sow. Just because you plant tomatoes doesn't meant that overnight tomatoes will grow. So too, just because you plant something (goodwill for example) it doesn't mean every person who comes into your life will reciprocate your goodwill. You may set out to sow a new business idea, but it does not mean that your idea will flourish into a profitable business. Inevitably weeds, pests, rodents and other non-desirables will find their way into your garden, into your mind and into your businesses. You must keep a watchful eye and rip out early that which can kill what you are growing.
The tree that bears the most fruit is the one that has been watered, provided ample sunshine and fertile soil. The tree that bears no fruit is often void of nutrients. Is your tree fruitful? Is our garden lush?
The fruit we bear speaks volumes of who we are just as the fruit of a tree tells us what kind of tree it is. Are you an apple tree or a lemon tree? Are you a positive contributing member of society? Do you run a business that has 1 star reviews, low employee retention rates and bitterness amongst the partners? Pay attention. Be mindful and aware of what you plant.
What kind of seeds are you sowing? What do you want to sow? Start there. Ensure you are planting the right seeds in the right place at the right time of year. Tend to your garden. With love, care and intention plant your seeds. Now go and flourish...!
