Seed & Harvest Time

Would you believe there are many people who don’t understand this concept? This is a concept that has been around since the beginning of time and applies to every area of our lives. All farmers should be familiar with this process in their growing of fruits and vegetables. In the bible it is mention many times. Now let me explain the important part of us as non farmers understanding this concept. We must look at all things as seeds and start to consider ourselves as farmers. Now as farmers it is up to us to determine what type of seeds we need to plant and where we need to plant them. Two types of good seeds are, love, and kindness, but on the bad side there is also hatefulness. Some seeds take awhile to mature and some can produce instantly.
I encourage you to always plant good seeds, cultivate them and prepare to collect your harvest.

My Enemy, My Friend

There is one person in your life that can be at times both your enemy and your friend. That person is you. Have you ever saw a commercial where a person would be standing there trying to make a decision and would have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other? While this may only be an illustration that is portraying a good and or bad influence through a visual aid it does happen in another manner. That way is through our own mind, our own inner struggle with our thoughts. Basically we fight against our own self when it comes to everyday living. We may ask how we can control who will come out on top. Well the first thing we need to do is be aware of this situation. Only then can we begin to take control of our thought process and allow what will be the best solutions to continually take the upper hand in our life. We must continue to train our mind daily. Do not allow your mind to just run on automated because it might just take you where you don’t need to go.

Skepticism

Have you ever met someone that was a skeptic of just about everything? No matter what it was it couldn’t be true or it had to have a catch to it. There are plenty of things that may call for having caution toward, but being skeptical toward everything has to be unhealthy. These are the type of people I believe that if out of the kindness of your heart you tried to give them $100, they wouldn’t take it only because of their skeptical mind process. Do you think a person like this could be living a fulfilling lifestyle? I don’t, because in certain situations you will need to be willing to take a change. So be cautious of some things, but not skeptical of all things.
