MaXIMIze - The Seeds We Sow

As Spring approaches, it is time to think about what we truly want to harvest this year - "as ye sow, so shall ye reap" comes to mind.

What are you planting in your garden today?

Are you allowing weeds to come up by letting negative thoughts and habits take root in your life? Or are you encouraging those things you want to grow in your life by focusing on bringing positive thoughts, habits, and energy into it instead?

Here are some questions I've posed before, ones that are good to ask ourselves from time to time to ensure we are sowing the right seeds and encouraging the right growth in our lives:

1. What are the three  most important things in your life right now?

2. What are your three main goals in life?

3. If you only had six months to live, what would you do differently?

4. If you came into a lot of money, what would you do differently?

5. What have you always wanted to do but were afraid to try?

6. What activities give you a sense of importance and/or a sense of joy?

7. If there were no boundaries, what would you want to achieve, do, and/or have?

Take the time necessary to contemplate each question and answer it as thoroughly and authentically as possible. Consider your answers and how you can reach the path they are directing you towards.

And from a post this time last year, more questions to consider:

What are you harvesting right now? What is showing up in your life right now?

What do you want to harvest in the future? What do you want to show up in your life from now on?

Are you planting the right seeds in the right soil to be able to harvest what you want to in the future instead of growing weeds?

As I said then, the parable of the mustard seed illustrates that last question very well. The seeds sown in the well-prepared soil and tended appropriately grew and provided a bountiful harvest. The seeds sown in barren soil with no preparation or tending did not even germinate to be able to die on the vine.

So, are we willing to do the work to ensure that what we are sowing now is really what we want to harvest in the future? Are we willing to till the field, remove the rocks and cobbles, plant the seeds, water the field, and pull the weeds while the seeds we planted grow into a bountiful harvest?

I know that I want to sow positive energy that comes back to me in ripples, rapids and tidal waves - how awesome what that be to have all the goodness coming my way? Totally awesome!

We also have to work on ourselves in order to be open to receiving all that awesome goodness that we are sowing in the world today.

So my last two questions for this post to you are:

What do you choose to plant today?

Are you truly ready to harvest awesome goodness in your life now?

Over the next couple of weeks, we will discuss planning, visualizing, and manifesting our best lives now - until next time, Namaste!
