Shall ye reap...

We all heard the phrase – “You reap what you sow”, sowing is planting and reaping is harvesting. Your deeds good or bad, kind or unkind, positive or negative will not go unseen and will repay you in kind. I am a firm believer that what you do will eventually come back to you in some way, shape, or form so why not plant as many good seeds as possible in order to reap that miraculous harvest? I know many times we tend to focus on what our own “rewards” and “blessings” are or can be at any given time that we forget to take a step back exclude ourselves and say, it’s not about me this time. I find myself often times becoming so self-absorbed in my own blessings big and small that I fail to realize that I too can be just that, a blessing to someone else and in someone else’s life. It takes mindful effort to remember my own blessings but yet still be able to promote and be a positive influence in another individual’s life which is not an easy course but something needed. I made a vow to myself that going forward it will not always be about counting on blessings in my own life, but rather me being able to be a blessing in someone else’s life. I will no longer undervalue the power of my own actions because something that may seem so small to me just might mean the world to someone else. I will continue to plant (sow) seeds of happiness, joy and positivity, encouragement, forgiveness, hope, faith, belief, and motivation any way possible because I know there is purpose seen fit. What type of seeds are you sowing? Are you sowing for good all the time? Or are you sowing for bad all the time? Maybe it’s both but you fail to realize it at times. Either way, we need to be vigilant of the kind of seeds we are sowing in all areas of our life because the seeds we sow today can potentially affect us tomorrow. With that in mind, try to focus on productive sowing every day, make it a habit even if it is something that seems so small. Stop sowing seeds of negativity, bitterness, and resentment; it’s pointless and whichever one you sow the most you will reap, it’s the law of harvest. With that in mind remember that our thoughts are seeds; be careful of which ones you tend to focus on.
