You Reap What You Sow
"You Reap What You Sow." This seems like the most logical of all of
life's lessons. I've witnessed its truth in nature hundreds of
times. You cannot plant corn and expect to get roses. If you plant
corn, you'll grow corn. If you want to grow roses, you had better
plant roses.
But somehow this simple bit of wisdom eludes most of us. We ignore
what nature teaches us, opting to believe in the convincing
illusions that our egos create. We trade common sense for shiny
holograms -- brought to us by technology, religion, and celebrity
endorsements. We stop taking responsibility for our lives and absent-
mindedly hand over the reigns to somebody (therapists, partners,
prescriptions, fashion magazines.), to anybody else.
So let me say it once more: YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
For example.
You cannot experience effortless, miraculous weight loss simply by
ingesting a little pill that contains "cutting-edge fat-blocking
agents." To lose weight, you have to change your diet. Exercise.
Improve your relationship with your body and with food.
You cannot improve your personal relationships by nagging, bullying
or manipulating people, avoiding conflict, or pretending to be
someone you're not. To improve your relationships, you have to
communicate (that means listening as well as speaking), compromise,
let down your guard, take responsibility for your actions, remain
open to change.
You cannot become fabulously successful or exceptionally skilled at
something by watching "Access Hollywood" seven-nights a week. To
realize success, wealth, or mastery, you have to get your butt up
off the couch and commit to your passions. Nurture them. Develop an
aversion to the concept of having "something to fall back on".
Invest your energy, focus, and time into that which you love.
You cannot solve a problem by ignoring it. You cannot expect things
to change simply because you want them to. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
Problems will be solved when you actively pursue and apply
solutions. Changes will occur when you do something different than
what you've always done before.
If you spend your life trying to look good, play it safe, and live
up to everybody else's expectations. guess what? Your life will be
characterized by an addiction to external validation, a powerful
need to please and obtain the approval of others, and a near-
constant anxiety that one of these days, people will realize that
you're really not "all that".
You reap what you sow.
A lot of my clients hire me to help them discover what it is they
were meant to do with their lives - to find their core purpose,
their mission, their raison d'etre. Well, I'll let you in on a
secret. We all ultimately share one mission: to live life on
purpose! To follow your dreams, to be authentic, to SLOW DOWN every
once in awhile. You have been given this one precious life (that
could end at any given moment) to love, to laugh, to sing, to be
kind to others, to share, to respect nature, to learn . to wear
comfortable pants.
Contrary to popular belief, you are NOT here to look good in a
bikini. You are not here to make lots of money or to "help people"
or to be at the top of your class. And no, you're not here just to
reproduce (though Mother Nature might disagree with me).
You are here to LIVE, boldly and FULLY. To taste life; to enjoy it.
To discover and express completely who you truly are.
Oh and by the way, you may not live long enough to follow the dreams
you are saving for "some day". You may not have 60 more years to
discover and claim your true purpose in life. Your time might be
almost up.
So take my advice. Pay attention to this one simple life lesson: You
reap what you sow. So start sowing NOW! Sow the seeds of a life that
holds PASSION, MEANING, TRUTH, LOVE.
And remember.
"You are not your bank account, or your ambitiousness. You're not
the cold clay lump with a big belly you leave behind when you die.
You're not your collection of walking personality disorders. You are
spirit, you are love, . you are free." (-Anne Lamott)
