Gardening

Our thoughts are the seeds we plant in the garden of our mind and by continually involving ourselves in these thoughts, whether by conversation, reading, entertainment or other means; we are cultivating and nurturing these thoughts. They will be our harvest.

Why is it in our physical world we have no trouble understanding that if we plant carrots we harvest carrots, if plant broccoli we harvest broccoli and if we plant rag weed we harvest rag weed, but in the spirit or mind world we can’t seem to understand that if we plant thoughts of lack and limitation, sickness and depression it is impossible to reap prosperity, good health and abundance? This is a universal law. It plays no favorites and is true for the individual as well as society at large. The quality of our crop will be determined by how well we nurture and care for it whether positive or negative.

It is so important to guard our thoughts becoming aware of our behaviors if we wish to advance our life toward prosperity, love, joy and health.

Spend this week becoming aware of how often you become involved in negative conversation, listening to music containing a negative message, reading negative material and any other activity or environment which dictates negativity. How might we counteract all this pollution not allowing these seeds to take root in our subconscious mind?

In closing, I was stirred to reread The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind in which Dr. Joseph Murphy writes: All your experiences, events, conditions, and acts are produced by your subconscious mind in reaction to your thoughts. Remember, it is not the thing believed in, but the belief in your own mind that brings about the result.
