Reaping and Sowing

 
I have done allot of personal development over the last two years, spiritually, mentally, physically and in business as well.  I have come across a common thread in all of these areas, and that is the law of Reaping and Sowing.

Bible
The bible has many verses about reaping and sowing.  Yet, so many times when we think of this law we think about doing good deeds, giving money, donating or supporting good causes.  Although these are all good and well and certainly not to be dismissed as an important part of reaping and sowing, I think we so often miss the part of what we reap and sow to our own minds and how it comes out to those around us.

What are your thoughts like?
As we go about our daily lives we have thousands of thoughts that go through our heads.  Thoughts that help us to decide what to do, what to eat as well as how we react to a particular situation and can even affect how we sleep.  What we fail to realize is that we are sowing to our own minds.  We are telling ourselves things all the time that convinces us that what we are doing is OK, even though we know in our hearts that what we are doing is wrong or against our spirit.  We feel it yet we continue to sow our minds with lies in order to not have to deal with the tough decisions or sometimes to block feeling certain emotions or from having to deal with confrontation.  We even tell people one thing and do the opposite as a way to avoid speaking the truth and dealing with a particular situation or to avoid following a rule or a law.  We leave out information when speaking to someone so that we can convince ourselves that we never said that so it's ok.  Or as the saying goes with a twist "What they don't know won't hurt them."  Stop telling yourself lies, and speak the truth to yourself.

Marketing, Deception & Lies
Now, this doesn't happen overnight.  We are bombarded with marketing, deception and lies on a daily basis.  We need to open our ears and our eyes to exactly what is in front of us without the emotions attached so we can clearly see the message or have a clear understanding of what the message is.  You reap what you sow!  Removing the emotion allows us to process the experience honestly and be able to know whether we should or should not allow it to dictate to our mind which in turn affects the body and your spirit.

Spew it
What we think and say to ourselves will spew from our mouth.  If you sow lies and deception, even if it's to yourself (which eventually comes out in your actions to others) you will reap lies and deception.  If you sow honesty, integrity and truth this is what you will reap.  If you sow love and compassion, even to yourself you will reap love and compassion.  You have heard this saying "Treat others the way you want to be treated". What I recommend is you treat yourself the way you want others to treat you as well.  You reap what you sow!  When we align our thoughts and our actions with truth and with our spirit we will feel strength, peace and personal integrity.
 
Every wonder why there is so much anger in your life?  Ever wonder why some people have so much drama all the time?  Why is it that nothing every goes right?  Maybe it's because you are reaping what you sow.

Just a thought,
