The moral of this story is​

View this email in your browser There's a fantastic quote by Robert Louis Stevenson... It goes like this: "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant" Let me break down why I love this so much... So many people are too focused on the harvest and not the seed planting. You see, we all want results (the harvest). It's natural to want that. But here's what most people do... They judge their progress solely on the harvest. And, in life, especially when you are trying to do big things, results might not always come as fast as you'd hoped. That's part of the game. But if you focus solely on the harvest, it's easy to lose motivation. "When are things going to start happening?". Self doubt can creep in. "Am I cut out for this? Am I dreamer?" Focusing on the harvest, the result you want, is where so many go wrong. Instead they should focus on planting seeds. On taking small actions every single day towards where they want to be. It's those actions, those seeds, that end in a harvest. Not all seeds will sprout and flourish... Not all seeds will last... But the consistent planting of them creates habits and a mental fortitude that results in a harvest eventually. Let me give you an example of this to make it clear... Imagine someone who wants to add some muscle. They go to the gym a few times and then look at themselves in the mirror. "Nothings happening. I still look the same. Is this even working?" They're focused on the harvest. The result and body they want. This type of person will often chop and change from one workout programme to the next, or just give up entirely. But there's another person in the gym... This person, sure, wants to look good. But instead of constantly evaluating they're focused on seed planting. They're consistently going to the gym, 4 times a week, week in, week out. Even when they don't feel like it - they plant those seeds. Even when they can't see much difference in the way they look - they plant those seeds. And in six months, or a year, or even two years... Because they planted those seeds, consistently, they get to where they want to be. Whilst the person who was focused more on the harvest, never does. Really think about this in your own life. And enjoy planting your own seeds Kind and warmest regards Dhamma Tāpasā Copyright (C) 2023 4enlightenment. All rights reserved. You are receiving this email because you opted in via our website.
