Grow Where You Are Planted

A farmer never digs up the seed he has planted, to observe its progress. Neither does he keep moving the seed from one place to another before it germinates. If he does that, the seed will never germinate and grow to yield the rich harvest he seeks.

A good farmer knows that quite a lot goes on from this…

Like a seed, real transformation in our lives does not happen in a moment, nor a day, nor even a week. Instead it occurs over time as we patiently allow the strength we are developing within ourselves to ‘germinate’, take root, and grow into something beautiful.

… to this …

The process is chock full of laughter and tears, joy and pain, with numerous twists and turns along the way. But if we are ever to move from our current position at point A to point B(ETTER), we gotta allow the PROCESS to run its course.

You can indeed grow, and thrive, where you are planted if you just be patient with the process.

… to this.

Don’t Quit

PUSH ON THROUGH

Circumstances outside of our control sometimes impact the outcome of our race. Along the way it may force us to consider actions like ABORT; or CTL-ALT-DEL; or RESTORE FROM BACKUP; or maybe a full RESET to a specified previous point.

We will have obstacles, but not every obstacle presents a reason to quit.

  • Don’t quit just because the race turns out to be harder than expected.
  • Don’t quit just because you become tired and frustrated.
  • Don’t quit just because someone tells you that you are not good enough.
  • Don’t quit just because you do not ‘see how you can possibly make your way through.’

Don’t ever lose faith in your ability to accomplish that which is important to you, regardless of the obstacles you encounter. You might not necessarily become the best at something, but you should always aim to do the very best you can at everything you do.

Success, which comes against apparently insurmountable odds, yields unparalleled satisfaction. Yes, success is its own reward. You only have a chance at success if you actually stay in the race.

Overcoming

THE PAST: Hindrance, or Boost? It’s really up to you!

The past is sometimes quite a messy place: A cesspool of unwanted memories and a graveyard of filth and putrid decay that too often refuse to stay buried…but should they really stay buried?

We cannot change the past, and to try to deny any aspect of it robs us of the opportunity to benefit from the lessons that are there to be learned and applied in the choices we make today. To try to deny our past is to squander the potential life-transforming lessons that can go a far way in the shaping of our future – because our present and future are inextricably linked to our past.

An undeniable paradox lies in the fact that while the experiences of the past can present an opportunity for us to grow, they can, if allowed, provide a recipe for the exact opposite: stagnation or even death.

We should embrace the past, even if it does not reflect who we are today. We should, at the same time, be prepared to leave it behind in our pursuit of personal growth and empowerment; in our evolving pursuit of BETTER.

In so doing we may well find that whether because of, or in spite of, our past, our best years are indeed yet to come.

Regardless of what our past is like, there is undeniable beauty in who we are today, and the future we are building for ourselves and others
