The Seeds We Plant, Grow

Jennifer Tuma-Young August 3, 2010 Dream Big, Life 14 Comments

My daughter loves to garden. She’s 4 years old, and gets such joy out of planting seeds, watering them, watching them bloom into beautiful flowers. Every morning we have to go on our porch and look at the petals, notice the colors. There was one lonely pot around the corner from the porch. It’s not as easy to access quickly, and she didn’t spend as much time tending to it. Still, the other day, we noticed the flower bloomed. Nature took care of the seeds, even if it took a little longer.

She was so excited, “Mommy, it grew! It’s BEEEEAAAAUUUUTTTTIFUL!”

In life, we are constantly ‘planting seeds’. And, like flowers, the ‘seeds’ we plant blossom into our world. These ‘life seeds’ come in many forms, in particular:

* Thoughts - are your thoughts limiting you? or are you thinking of limitless possibilities? is worry a constant state of being for you? or are you living truly in this moment? Remember, what we think about expands.

* Actions - are your actions in line with the person you were born to be? are your actions in line with your ‘vision’? Remember, if you see it in your minds eye, taking inspired steps will let it unfold perfectly as it should. We may not always have the answers, sometimes we need to be still, and just listen. Stillness is an action.

* Energy - are you living with passion, energy, and peace in your heart? or has aggravation and turmoil taken you over? are you honking incessantly at other drivers and getting annoyed at the checkout line? Remember, we are walking magnets, and our actions cause reactions. Make your ‘domino effect’ a good one!

* Words – are you speaking words of kindness- not only to others, but also about others, and to yourself? or are you constantly venting, ranting, or beating yourself up? We are not perfect, our beauty is in our imperfections, so we must learn to accept each other flawed and all. Remember, we nurture what we love.

    I really liked this post. You describe this topic very well. Daily across the world there are millions of flower arrangements gifted. For countless occasion’s flowers are a wonderful and thoughtful gift. Anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, graduations, congratulations, and to give thanks are only a few reasons to give the gift of flowers. With all the flowers that are given everyday, few individuals actually know the symbolic meaning of each flower. Knowing the meaning behind a flower can amplify the meaning of the present greatly. Whether needing to send a message to a loved one or a thank you gift, there are right choices available in several fresh flowers. A florist is sure to know an appropriate flower to match any occasion. Flowers can speak volumes about the sender’s feelings. Those who make an effort to understand the meanings behind individual flowers and their colors will certainly be able to give a thoughtful bouquet to those they are special to.

    I think of posting comments on widely-read blogs the same way I think about raising my hand in a classroom discussion- only when I have something new or interesting to contribute. I always try to read all the comments first to make sure , that i, make valid and genuinecontributions to , particular blog.

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

    It’s lovely to see things we have created grow. This is such a great feeling. I think a lot of people will agree wether its a entrepeneur starting his new business and seeing it prosper to new parents seeing their child develop into a happy & healthy individual.
