The Lesson of the Seed

Andrew Matthew's FOLLOW YOUR HEART
   
The Lesson of the Seed is "You reap your harvest after you do the work." You dig the soil and water the seed (effort), wait a while (patience) and then you pick your beans. 
  
Effort + patience = results.

In a nutshell:

If we are honest with ourselves, we can list almost everything that's ever happened to us - and see how we helped create it. Don't worry about whether the laws of the universe are delivering for your neighbor. Watch the law of cause and effect at work in your own life - in your own relationships, your own successes and your own disappointments. You will have greater peace of mind.

Thanks for reading! :)

NAMASTE.

    I would hate to admit this but I am just as human as anyone will be. There have been times when I fail to see what I am blessed with. This has been a good reminder..

    this is very true -effort + patience = results and is sum up in the virtue called persistence. I always believe "That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do not because the nature of the things has changed but because our power to do has increased".

    This verse from the bible states best what law of sowing and reaping is..
    "Remember this--a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need and plenty left over to share with others. (2 Cor 9:6-8 NLT)"

    Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. - Gal 6: 7

    It is true that what we plant is what we reaps. Our country feels the same way as we continue to struggle against floods caused by illegal loggers. As for our personal life, it is best always to be good to people; we'll never know what happens in the future - that person may help us in the future when we needed it. Same goes to success, like you said effort + patience is important to gain success. I may have to add faith, faith in yourself and in God (that is how it goes for me.) God bless.

    This formula always worked for me: Effort + patience + a little luck = kickass results :)

    So, close to yours. Hihi.

    LIFE may take us to anywhere
    but we have to open our eyes to see
    the road we travel on... If we have determination
    to get what we want, we can reach them.

    So true, it takes effort, patience, and a lot of perseverance in order to yield results. And of course, prayer.

    Thank you so much for a great reminder! I needed this today and I think I still will in the future, most especially when times become tough. :-)

    Take care and God bless! :-)

    The Lesson of the Seed is "You reap your harvest after you do the work." You dig the soil and water the seed (effort), wait a while (patience) and then you pick your beans. Sometimes this quote is easier said than done, that's why a lot of people who doesn't have the patience ended up with a wrong decision. Admittedly, I am impatient but sometimes God give us tests that will teach us a valuable lesson so we will learn to be patient. This saying is relative to working hard because in the end all our hardwork will pay off.

    You get back what you put out. You reap what you sow. Everything comes back 3folds.

    Just like in Science, the law of cause and effect, what you work on in your life is what you enjoy. I'm also reminded of what the Bible says, "God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
