Learn The Law Of The Seed

This is very good piece of thought.

Read carefully & relate it to your life.

THE LAW OF THE SEED

Take a look at an apple tree.

There might be 500 apples on the tree & each apple has 10 seeds.

That's a lot of seeds!

We might ask, 

" why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?"

Nature has something to teach us here.

It's telling us :

"Not all seeds grow."

"In life, most seeds never grow."

So, if you want to make something happen,

you had better try more than once.

This might mean :

• You'll attend 20 interviews to get one job.

• You'll interview 40 people to find one good employee.

• You'll talk to 50 people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy or a business idea.

• You might meet a 100 acquaintances just to find one special friends. 

When we understand the "Law of The Seed",

• We don't get so disappointed.

• We stop feelings 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 & work with them.

In a nutshell,

Successful people fail more often.

But, they plant more seeds.

When thing's are beyond your control,

here's something that you must NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life.

• You must not decide how you think the world should be.
• You must not make rules for how everyone should behave.
• Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry!
• That's what miserable people do!

On the other hand, lets say you expect that :

• Friends should return favours.
• People should appreciate you.
• Planes should arrive on time.
• Everyone should be honest.
• Your husband or your best friends should remember your birthday.

These expectations may sound reasonable.

But often, these things won;t happen.

So, you end up frustrated & dissapointed.

There's a better strategy :

• Demand less & instead, have preferences.

For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself :

• " I would prefer this, but if that happens, it's OK too."

This is really a change in a mindset.

It is a shift in attitude, & it gives you more peace of mind.

You prefer that people are polite, but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day.

You prefer sunshine, but if its rains, it' ok too.

To become happier, we either need to :

• Change the world OR change our thinking.

It is easier to change our thinking!

In a nutshell,

It is not a problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem taht is the problem.

It's not what happen to you that determines your happiness.

It's how you think about whats happen to you.
