Fruits of Our Labor

We are the fruits of our labor.

What is the true meaning of this statement?

Most often we think of our labor as our physical labor. If we work the land or perform our jobs well we get rewarded with a great crop or our paycheck and possibly even a bonus. Although this statement certainly applies in this situation I don’t believe this was its intention.

Have you ever considered our thoughts as labor? Thinking for our self is the hardest work we will ever undertake. Very few actually know how to think. I am not talking about intellectual or surface thinking that is commonplace. I am talking about deep penetrating thought that comes from strong conviction and has the ability to change and govern life. These are the deep thoughts that our desires and motives mold. They create who and what we experience. They reveal our Truth. This is the labor of which this statement speaks. We become what we think about or have been programmed to think about most of the time.

Let’s create an analogy to better understand this; let’s take an apple tree and plant it in beautiful fertile soil with excellent sunlight, the perfect amount of rain and all the necessary components in perfect balance for optimal growth. What quality of fruit and nourishment do you think we would enjoy from this tree. Would it not enrich all the lives of those around it that chose to partake?

Now let’s take that same apple tree but replace just one of the components necessary for growth with its opposite, (which could be lack of or excess). Even though all the other components remain the same, excellent sunlight, plenty of rain and the like, this tree will never realize its potential and possibly not even produce any fruit at all. It may become sickly and stunted depending on the severity of lack or excess.

Our thoughts represent the components necessary for, and are responsible for, optimal growth or lack of growth. The perfect soil, excellent sunlight and perfect amount of rain represent thoughts of love, prosperity, peace, joy, abundance etc. We will reap the rewards of the labor of our thoughts creating the life we desire or moving us away from it. If we remove any one of these and replace it with thoughts of lack, limitation, jealousy, hatred, selfishness, pessimism, war, pestilence, we will limit our ability to create the life we desire in proportion to the severity of our thoughts and reap the fruits of this kind of thinking.

It is imperative we guard our thoughts. Challenge their origin and destination. If they do not support the life we wish to create they must be discarded immediately and replaced with thoughts that move us in the direction we desire.
