SEED TIME

Every farmer is always happy during the harvest period. But what will sustain that happiness is their ability not to eat or sell their seeds with the other crops during this period. So many people achieve success at one point or the other in life, but very few remain successful. If you understand the mystery of the “seed time” you will find maintaining and achieving greater success easy. This is because the secret of success in anything lies in your understanding of seed time. You will not be term successful by the largeness of your harvest, but by the quantity and quality of the seeds you plant. If you want to be among the few who never know a better yesterday, you need to take this subject more serious.

There are key things you need to know, which I will be throwing more light into, such as; what is seed, what is seed time, how to identify the seed time, what are the important seeds you need to plant in life and how to plant your seeds.

What is a Seed?

Seed according to the dictionary is the initial state, condition or position of a changing, growing or developing process; the ultimate precursor in a defined chain of precursors. So everything started as a seed, including you and I. Whatever is capable of growing, d

eveloping and reproducing itself is a seed; including those ideas in your mind.
It is important to note that some seeds grow on their own, this calls for you to constantly check your life if it is producing the kind of fruits you want. If not please do some weeding.

What is Seed Time?

Seed time is refer to as the favourable period to plant seeds. To succeed you need to learn to turn every period into a favourable time to plant your seeds. Wise King Solomon said, “In the morning sow your seed, in the evening with hold not from sowing…” Achievers don’t wait for a favourable time; every time is seed time. Your future is not secure by the harvests you get in life, but by the seed you plant. So plant seed as many time as you have opportunities to.

How to Identify Your Seed Time

- Scarcity: You need to sow seed when what you have is not enough. Scarcity is an indicator for seed time. If you fail to plant in your days of scarcity, you will never be able to witness the days of abundance. It is folly to wait till you have more before you plant, because you might have to wait for ever. I think this could be the theory behind why the poor get poorer and the rich gets richer. See, if you eat everything in your days of scarcity you may remain poor and always looking up to others to survive in life. Seed time could require lot of sacrifices and could be painful, but you have to pass through it to enjoy the fulfillment of the harvest.
- Abundance: Every abundance you fail to manage, will sooner or later leads to scarcity. So abundance is another sign of seed time. No matter how large your harvest is, it will definitely finish one day. It can only be reproduce by planting of seeds. This is why Robert Louise Stevenson is right when he said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.”

What are the Important Seeds You Need to Plant

Let me bring to your remembrance here that life is all about sowing and reaping. Today is a product of our yesterday and tomorrow is going to be a direct production of what we are doing today. This means that, today is a seed that will produce tomorrow. You can see that tomorrow of your dream if only you can be more careful with you actions, thoughts, and decisions today; these three will either make or mar your tomorrow. Beware!
There three important seeds will all need to plant to harvest a desirable tomorrow. The below shows us those seeds and where to plant them;

- TIME:you need to sow your time into the following i.Education and learning (you will always be stupid in life if you’re not studious)ii. Building of quality relationship (there is a relationship between who you know and what associates with you.) iii. Career/Business (building a successful business or career takes time; give it.) Your health (Health is wealth, they say.) iv. Your family (only God should be more important than your family, please sow some time into it.) v.Financial Education (financial intelligence is key to financial freedom. )vi.Developing relationship with God (it is difficult to win the battles of life without God.)

- MONEY :sow your money into the following i. Education and learning (Plant the seeds of money into education; you can only improving your earning power by improving your learning power). ii. Trainings (training always precedes reigning. You know!) iii.Books (the money you can’t spend on books should not be spent on clothing). iv.Assets ( I like real estate). v.Giving (Pay your tithes and give freely to the poor and less privilege if you want to be more successful.) vi. Family ( your spouse and children deserve a comfortable life ) vii. Your dreams (accomplishment of dream needs some financial commitments; please give it.)

- ENERGY: plant you energy in the following i. Working for God (the best way to preserve your energy is by giving it to God.) ii. Training your children (if you don’t train them well today, they will curse you tomorrow.) iii. Making positive impact in the live of other (life is about impact; we love to remember you for good.) iv. Achieving your desired success in life (you really need to sow some energy into that.) v. Exercises (even the holy book says it is profiting.)

How You Should Plant Your Seeds

Plant your seed generously and diligently. If you have two hour with your family, make it worth while, you don’t just sit down and watch them; you relate, learn something together, do some heart to heart talk e.t.c. This is important because you don’t plant seeds anyhow. Diligence is vital, do it right.

This is your seed time, why not plant some seeds of time, money and energy today into things that directly affect your future such as education, family, business, e.t.c. Success unlimited is what you get when you explore the power of seed time.
I pray that the dew of heaven fall on all the good seed you have sown in life.

How To Overcome Fear:- 7 Powerful Ways To Conquer Your Fears

Until you conquer fear, you will never be able to gain mastery in life. Many of us are where we are today because out of fear we didn’t took some certain steps that would have move us further at some point in our life. Some of us, fear keep us focus on the past and worried about the future. Fear is certainly one of our most influential but highly ignored enemy of progress and accomplishment of goals. And the truth is no one is immune against fear, but what makes the different is our ability to overcome it when it comes.
As Nelson Mandela points out, the brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

I have my own fair share of fear and it has stop me on several occasion from; taking important steps, making vital call, making key decisions and so on, until I learn how to handle it.
When I caught the idea of the Annual National Success Summit, after consultations, researches and some calculations; my body temperature rises to about 60οC out of fear, going through my findings and what it takes to host the summit. I became more afraid when my team experiences some disappointment. To be sincere, my fears almost succeeded in stopping me; attempted canceling the summit more than three times. I had to fight my fears and eventually suppress them. The summit was successful and turns out to be one of my greatest accomplishments. What if my fear had stopped me again, all those life that has been impacted would not have been reached. What I have come to learn from my experiences with fear is that, you can’t be successful if you can’t conquer fear. Never, ever give in to fear. “He who is not conquering fear everyday” said R. W. Emerson “has not learned the secret of life.” Let’s quickly look at seven powerful ways to conquer fear.

Powerful Ways To Conquer Fear

1. Acknowledge: You need to acknowledge the fact that your fears are causing havoc. If you feel its normal you might never be able to get over it.

2. Investigate: Get specific, what are you really afraid of and why; look inward. Remember, you can not conquer an enemy you don’t know.

3. Dethrone Security: Many go into wrong marriage, put up with jobs they hate, live in places they are not comfortable with and so on, just to feel secure. If you must conquer fear, you need to place more value on courage to do what you have to do to succeed. Helen Keller rightly observed, “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”

4. Eliminate Negative Belief: That some fail at it, doesn’t mean you will. It can work for you even if it has never work for anyone before. Learn to program the right thought into your mind. Your negative thought is just a perspective; don’t let it fertilize your fear. Reading good books that that specifically addresses your needs is also a very wise decision.

5. Talk: Your greatest fear has once been conquered by someone; find such a one. For example, you want to go into business and you are afraid, successful businessmen where once in your ‘shoe.’ Talking about your fear with them will help a great deal. And most importantly talk to God about it in prayer; some abnormal cases of fear, requires divine intervention.

6. Think of the Worst Thing that could Happen: Each time I use this method, I will say to myself at least I’m not going to die, so I just do it. Instead of allowing fear to stop you go for the worst; you will survive it and your fear will disappear.

7. Expose Yourself to the Fear: You can never overcome fear by avoiding it. The more you expose yourself to fear, the more courageous you become. You need to confront your fear. Just as Jeanette Coron said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s to feel the fear and face it anyway.” If something terrifies you, until you do it, you will never realize what you’re capable of.

Believe me you have a lot of potential within you and what it takes to rule your world but fears has been preventing you from unleashing them. That story is changing from today. Courage to face the future and accomplish greater things is release upon you now in Jesus name.
