Planting positive seeds

We cannot really predict what exactly will grow in our garden of life.  We cannot know when and where new shoots will emerge.  But we can control what seeds we plant.  Each day, take some time in your mind to imagine positive possibilities.  Imagine that meeting at work going really well, imagine the conversation with your partner ending in a big embrace, imagine your workout being filled with a sense of accomplishment.  Most of our daily worries end up creating up little weeds in our garden that can outcompete all the good possibilities trying to push to the surface.  Choose bright thoughts, choose well.

  2. I sow seeds when I periodically review my vision. When I do, I take a look at where I want to be, relationally, financially, professionally, spiritually and physically, as well as mentally.

    On the daily basis, I use prayer and meditation to guide me as to which seeds to cast. I seek God's will for the day, not mine. I also ask for His power to carry it out.

    I sow seeds for the possibilities of the day when I plan my priorities, informed as they are, by God's will.
