The article "Learn From The Farmer" talks about motivation, it was written by Dr Kem Thompson.
When a farmer plants a crop, *as long as the soil is fertile*,
he knows to *expect* a harvest in good time.He knows to expect multiples of what he's planted.He knows to patiently nurture the soil, keeping it watered and
nourished while he waits to reap what he's sown.Notice that he doesn't agitate over how soon his harvest shows
up.
He knows it's going to show up in good time, as long as the
environment remians conducive. He doesn't worry about 'if' it's
going to show up. He *knows* it will.How does that apply to you?Well let me ask you: have you ever felt discouraged because
things weren't happening as fast as you'd like? Perahps you're
doing all the things you should: you've written your goals,
made plans that you're following, faithfully affirming and
visualizing daily, practicing daily gratitude, etc.Still nothing seems to be happening, and you're starting to
wonder if you should quit. Perhaps you're starting to wonder if
your goal was worth going for after all. You've probably told
yourself that the goal was too titanic for you anyway.If that is you, listen: learn from the famrer. You don't know
exactly when your harvest will manifest, but realize one thing:
the moment you put that goal on paper and started working towards
it, you set a chain of acitvity in motion - activity which will
end up as your goal becoming real.Think about it.
When a farmer plants a seed, he doesn't see the
shoot the next day does he? Yet the moment that seed is in the
soil, the grwoth and manifestation process begins. Right at that
instant. This initial phase is invisible to us on the outside but
that doesn't change the fact that it's happening.When you set a goal, and you've written it down and are focusing
on it, *know* that (as long as you satisfy the right conditions),
your desires will take on physical form in good time. The moment
you decide on something, the moment you guess it, you set in
motion activities geared towards bringing that thoguht to form.Your idea/desire/goal, is a 'seed' from your conscious mind.
Your
subconscious mind is the 'soil' in which you plant that seed.
By natural law, the moment you plant a seed in soil, everything
necessary for that seed to bring forth multiple fruit starts
happening. That's all soil knows to do - grow stuff.Your subconscious mind works the same way: all it knows to do is
maniefst stuff - it brings about the physical manifestation of any
thought you plant in it. Note that it doesn't matter what you plant
in it (read: "it doesn't matter what you ask for" or "it doesn't
matter how titanic or small your goals are" - as long as you work in
harmony with Universal laws, they will become physically real).This physical manifestation does *not* happen overnight, however.That's what I want you to remember: as long as you're doing what
you know to do, and you're staying focused on your desired outcome,
rest assured that at the appropriate time, your vision *will* be
made real.That is what the law of Gestation (one of the Universal Laws) is
all about: it refers to the period between the planting of a seed
and the harvest/birth/end result.According to that Law, there is a period of time that must elapse
beofre that thought will manifest in form. The length of that
time is dependent on the magnitude and intensity of the enegry of
the thought.When you understand that Law, you'll find it not hard to go about your
business with full faith, expectation and gratitude that your vision
is daily becoming real.Think of a pregnant girl. Once feritlization happens, and she's
conceived, even though it takes months for any evidence of all that
activity to become visible, you know that there's a miracle taking
place the whole time.
And if all goes well in that pregnancy, she
knows to expect a healthy baby at the end of 9 months (her gestation
period).Your goals have gestation periods too.Don't give up prematurely.
*Persist* in doing the right things, fully
*expecting* your desired result, and fully *grateful* for that result
being already present.By law (as you work in obedience to Law), it has to happen.
Your goals
and desires must manifest, for the Univresal laws are precise.
They never fail.So anytime you are tempted to get discouraged at the way things
are going, stop and remember the farmer (and the pregnant woman:).
Then get up and keep going froward until you reach your goal.As your Coach, I can show you some neat tricks and techniques to
help you master that way of thinking such that you begin to attract
