The Law of seed
Good day.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..:Ecclesiastes:3:1
Am using apple tree as a study case. Though we might not be able to see apple tree around us but we always see its fruits
Do you know that each apple fruit have only 10 seeds. But the tree itself might have up to five hundred fruits. That's a lot of seeds!
Now! You might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?"
Hmm. You only need a seed to make a tree. But, you have to plant more than once. These means that Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow..
In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."
What am i implying,
It means you'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll date more than a girl/guy before you finally settle with one. You'll visit embassy more than once before you get a visa.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend .
Brethren, When we understand the "Law of the Seed.", we avoid been disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them by applying wisdom
THE LESSON.
I have discover that Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
When Things Are Beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO so as to be happy:
1.. You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
2.. You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.
Many times, such thoughts can bring you spiralling down into more unhappiness.
In another vein; let's me suggest that you expect:
1..Friends SHOULD return favours.
2..People SHOULD appreciate you.
3..business SHOULD move very fast.
4...Everyone SHOULD be honest.
5.. Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday or say something nice about you.
Hmm...These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed. But I've got you a better strategy. Which is; Demand less, and instead, have preferences! For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself:
"I WOULD PREFER "A" ( Authentic plan), BUT IF "B" ( Brilliant Idea) HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!"
Then, You prefer that people are polite.. but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day.
You prefer sunshine.. but if it rains, it is ok too!
Before i conclude..
To become happier, we either need to:
a) Change the world, or
b) Change our thinking
But, It is easier to change our Thinking
Finally
It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude used to attend to the problem that is now the problem.
It's not what happens to you that determine your happiness but rather how you think about what happens to you.
Don't waste your precious time. Awake and start living right.
God bless you real good.
Amen
