Once our recent rain let up, I went to my favorite nursery to get some new flowers and potted palms to bring Spring to my patio. While I was there I took a look at the tomatoes and fruit to decide what else I would plant.
When I plant the tomatoes I fully expect to get tomatoes, not grapes, not peaches, not peppers.
It’s not hard to understand that whatever we plant in the soil is exactly what will bloom. It’s a simple and acceptable idea.
And yet, in the way we live our lives we act as if some other rule applies.
We plant negative talk in our heads, and then wonder why we get negative results.
We hang around people who complain and gossip, and wonder why we experience disappointing results in our lives.
Our minds are even more fertile than the soil. Our subconscious is a powerful thing. It has no choice but to move us toward whatever we put there.
The idea that positive thoughts and positive talk move us toward positive results is not the platitudes of positive thinking gurus. It’s fact.
On my radio show today, my guest Chris Gloss, motivational coach better known as the Possibilitarian, said that our words are the arrows that we send ahead of us. You can probably think of a time when you said of someone you know “He’s a pain in the neck,” and you did indeed experience neck pain.
Or after you experienced a letdown you said, “I knew that would happen.”
Whether we speak the words or think them, we are planting ideas and thoughts in our heads.
Is there any doubt what you need to do next?
Whether you believe me or not doesn’t matter. Just look around what’s going on in your life. If you don’t like what you see, change what you plant.
Plant what you want to grow in your life.
