Humans are soooo special. I say humans because we are the only species with enough intelligence to convince ourselves we can defy the laws of nature!
If you take a seed from an orange and plant it, oranges will produce. If you take watermelon seeds and plant them, is there any doubt watermelons will grow? If you did nothing with the seeds…you are correct in assuming nothing will be produced. Yet when it comes to us and what we sow in our life, we act as if different rules apply. We arrogantly believe if we plant ugliness into our lives, beauty will grow; when we plant misery, we expect love in return and if we put great effort toward nothing, we live under the assumption fortune will still find us.
Can I tell you something out of pure love? If you wake up every day UNhappy, UNfulfilled, UNhopeful and on the UNfortunate end of the scale, then it’s time to get rid of those “UNs’” and evaluate the things you are sowing into your life. Let’s do this together. First ((((inhale))))…wait a couple of seconds, now ((((exhale)))). We adapt this behavior through one of two ways;
1. Influence
2. Choice
Influence; Many of us were born into this foundation of negativity. Through parents and/or other dominant influences you were led to believe that you only get … out of life and shouldn’t expect anything more. As a child, anything you did yielding positive results was shot down with negative consequences and any sliver of hope you intuitively grasped onto became diminished over time. You live in a world of Uns’ because as you make your way through life that is all you identify with. The energy you plant/sow is of expected disappointment, expected darkness, expected half-empty glass, expectation of things going wrong, expectation of not having many friends, and expectation of bad relationships. If Greatness slapped you in the face you would still walk right by it dumbfounded and blinded of its presence.
Choice; this is the worst of the two because you wake-up every day making a conscious choice to see the half-empty glass. When the sun shines bright on you, you purposely shield it away to see if any dark clouds are left. Your fear of failure is so strong that you prefer to live in the UN’s. When positive people engage you, eventually you shoo them away with your misery. In your mind; no one treats you right, no one likes you, you never get invited anywhere, and no one wants to help you. The truth is, if 23 out of 24 hours a day went perfect, you would only tell others about that one hour that went wrong. The problem is YOU-are-the-problem and need a 911 change of perspective.
We cannot do the bare minimum and expect maximum results, just as we cannot expect that planting an orange seed will produce a watermelon. ..In order to get better, be better, and do better it’s a must that we open our awareness of self. “You reap what you sow” is a saying that applies across the board. Take an honest evaluation of the seeds you sow in life, then ask yourself;
Are you satisfied with your reaping?…I’m listening…Holla at ya Gyrl !
