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
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.
