Cheri decided that she wanted to grow an apple tree in her backyard. She had never planted an apple tree before. In fact, she had never planted anything before. This was the first time she had tried her hand at gardening. But last year, she had the idea that it would be nice to grow an apple tree right in her backyard.
Now that the weather was getting better, the idea came back to her and it seemed that she became obsessed with growing an apple tree. When she was urged to start, she found herself going to the library, to the bookstore and on the Internet to research everything she could about growing an apple tree. She had to learn about the apple variety and the rootstock; about
site selection, proper planting, training and pruning, proper
fertility and pest control, all sorts of things that went into creating a healthy and productive tree.
Every time he went out into his garden, he imagined exactly where the tree would grow. She would see, in her mind’s eye, the tree already full grown with rich and wonderful apples everywhere.
The time has come to plant your tree. He used all the skills he had learned to ensure that he would grow to his full potential.
And guess what?
The tree grew and, most wonderfully, red apples sprouted everywhere. Cheri was so proud of her masterpiece.
Planting flowers and trees can be really amazing. You take a little seed and you put it in the ground and nurture it and before you know it, it starts to sprout, and then it grows into a fully grown flower, plant or tree.
It’s really amazing to experience.
Have you ever planted a tree or a plant? Have you ever seen it sprout and grow everywhere, sometimes out of control? Have you ever witnessed that?
I’m sure you have.
In fact, I’m willing to bet on it.
Well, you may not have actually planted a flower or a tree, but every day, you plant thoughts and ideas in your subconscious mind that start to grow. Some of these thoughts and ideas grow out of control and before we know it, they begin to take over our lives.
Some of these “seeds” are planted without us realizing it. They are things that we have heard others say about ourselves and we allow them to take root deep within our subconscious mind and then they start to grow so wild and out of control that we don’t even realize it, but before long, they have taken over. of our life.
Let me give you an example. Have you ever heard your parents tell you, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Or “money is hard to come by.” Or “You can’t get everything you want.”
Well these are seeds that are planted in our subconscious mind and over the years they are nurtured and allowed to grow so much that they start to grow out of control. We wonder how we are always struggling to make ends meet or why we can’t experience financial freedom like we see so many other people experience.
It’s because of those seeds that are planted in our subconscious mind, they’ve been planted so deeply that without us realizing it, we always find ourselves struggling to make ends meet because money doesn’t grow on trees and it’s hard to come and just don’t we can get
everything we want.
We have simply accepted it as a truth, a reality, without ever questioning or investigating to see if it has any merit. It becomes second nature for us to quickly say to our own children, “Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.” Because it’s something we’ve heard for most of our lives.
And because we have this belief, money will always elude us because our “seed” that has been planted within us has grown so large that it makes sure that we hold on to this belief.
If you plant a seed from an apple tree, an apple tree will grow.
If you plant a seed that money is hard to come by, then money will always be hard to come by.
You can’t plant apple seeds and expect oranges to grow.
You cannot hold on to the beliefs that are planted in your subconscious mind and expect your life to be different from your beliefs.
Sorry, it just doesn’t work that way.
If you want to grow oranges, you have to plant seeds that produce oranges.
If you want to live a happy and successful life, you must plant seeds that will bring about a happy and successful life.
Well, how do you do that when the seeds that have been planted for so long are negative and don’t allow you to have the things you want?
You do it the same way a gardener does. When a gardener plants grass and notices that weeds have sprung up among the good weeds, he goes to work killing the weeds. They have to destroy the weeds or else they will destroy the good weeds.
You must do the same. Destroy the weeds (negative thoughts) that are growing inside you before they kill the good weeds (positive thoughts).
Always keep in mind what you are thinking and the effect it will have on your life. When you notice a negative thought, kill it before it kills you.
ACTION POINT: Let’s do some spring cleaning this week. Let’s become aware of the thoughts we have that are like weeds and can destroy our efforts to change our lives. Let’s take out the weedcutter and herbicide and destroy them whenever they rear their ugly heads. This week, we will only have positive thoughts that will empower life and bring us closer to our goals. And we will destroy the negative thoughts that hold us back. Can you do that for yourself this week? I know you can. don’t try to do
do it.
