What Are You Thinking?
What kind of "harvest" are you enjoying?
Is your “fruit” sweet or bitter?
How's the health of your “tree”?
What have you done to nourish your “tree”?
What kind of “seeds” have you been planting?
"As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them."
"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind."
What's the connection?
Can you see the connection between "sowing quality seeds" and "plucking and savoring the Ultimate Fruits of Life"?
What we put into our minds really does impact us, because it determines what we believe and how we think; and what we believe and think determines the course of our lives.
Consider this powerful statement by the great sales and success trainer Zig Ziglar:
“You are what you are and where you are because of what's gone into your mind. You can change what you are and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.”
"Those who seek a better life must first become a better person. They must continually seek after self-mastery for the purpose of developing a balanced philosophy of life, and then live in accordance with the dictates of that philosophy. The habit of reading is a major stepping stone in the development of a sound philosophical foundation. It is one of the fundamentals required for the attainment of success and happiness...Unless we change what we know, we will continue to believe, decide and act in a manner that is contrary to our best interests" (bolding added for emphasis).
It's perfectly clear that if we intend to create great success in our lives, we've got to continue to refine our beliefs and the way we think.
What is A Daily Seed of Truth TM?
Unfortunately, many just don't have the time to read and study much, even when they know there's plenty of material “out there” that could help them be more effective.
A Daily Seed of Truth TM consists of a powerful quote coupled with a few of my own comments to help you think more deeply about the principle taught in the quote so you can more effectively internalize that principle.
A Daily Seed of Truth TM brings you The Wisdom of the Ages in bite-sized pieces so you that every day you're planting powerful “seeds of truth” into the garden of your mind.
As these seeds take root and begin to grow, your life will begin to change; and you'll find that you're moving closer and closer to the kind of life you desire to live.
Not only can you infuse your mind with the understanding of how Life works so you can achieve whatever you desire, but you can also enjoy a burst of positive energy every time you read a “Daily Seed”; and that can lift and energize you in that moment and thereby help you create a more enjoyable day.
Thanks for visiting.
Remember: The health of the tree determines the quality of the fruit!
