Law of the Seeds

Take a look at an apple tree.

There might be about 500 fruits on the tree and each apple has about 10 seeds.

So, that's a lot of seeds there, isn't it?

Question to ask would be,"Why would you need so many seeds to grow another tree, or even two?"

Mother Nature is trying to teach us something here.

She's telling us,"Not ALL seeds grow.

In Life, most seeds NEVER grow."

So, if you want to succeed at something, you have to give it a go more than ONCE.

This might mean:

TWENTY interviews to get that one great job.

You'll have to interview FORTY people to find that ONE good employee.

You'll have to talk to FIFTY people to sell that ONE house, or ONE car, or ONE electrical appliance, or ONE insurance policy, or ONE unit trust investment, or A business idea.

And you'll probably meet MORE than a HUNDRED people before you meet a good special friend.

When we understand The Law of the Seed, we don't get dissappointed.

We STOP feeling like VICTIMS.

We LEARN how to DEAL with things happening to us.

Laws of Nature are not to be taken personally.

We just need to UNDERSTAND them, AND work with them.

In a nutshell, SUCCESSFUL people FAIL more OFTEN.

But they plant MORE SEEDS.

When things are beyond your control, as most things in LIFE will be, you have to do this ONE thing as to not be miserable in your life:

You must NOT decide HOW you think the world SHOULD be.

You must not make RULES for how everyone should behave.

For when people don't obey your "rules", you would get angry for NOTHING.

For that's what miserable people usually do, they'll rant and rave.

On the other hand, let's say you EXPECT that:

Friends SHOULD return favors.

People SHOULD appreciate you.

Planes SHOULD arrive on time. (Are you listening, Tony?)

Everyone SHOULD be honest. (yeah, if only...)

Your spouse or your best friends SHOULD remember your birthday.

REASONABLE expectations?

But most of the time, these things NEVER happen!

So you'll end up frustrated and dissappointed.

There's a BETTER way:

Demand LESS, but INSTEAD,

have PREFERENCES.

For things beyond your control, tell yourself:

"I would prefer this.........., but if THAT happens, it's ok too!"

So, it's about changing your MINDSET.

It's a shift in your ATTITUDE, and it'll give you PEACE of mind.

You prefer that people are polite, but if they're rude, it doesn't ruin your day.

You prefer sunshine, but if it rains, that's not the end of the world.

To become happier, we either need to:

a) Change the WORLD, or

b) Change our thinking

I'm sure you know that it's easier to change yourselves.

So, the main ISSUE is not the problem that's happening to you, but rather it's your

ATTITUDE attending to the problem that will be the main issue.

It's not what happens to you that determines your happiness.

It's HOW you think about what happens to you.

Have a good life ahead of you.
