As a Seed Receives


As a Seed Receives

Have you ever noticed that the beginning of something can tell what the result will be?  When a seed comes forth from its pod or flower, it is an expression from the plant that produced it.  Everything to grow the mature plant is already programmed in the tiny newness of the seed.
What happens to the seed when it comes into contact with the earth?  It may land in a place that is able to provide conditions for it to grow well.  It may be rained upon just enough, have the right temperatures, the right conditions, to grow quickly and become strong and beautiful.
Or, it may not.  Perhaps the seed falls in a place where it just barely makes it.  Or maybe it grows, but does not flourish.  The potential is there for that to change.  Adversity contains the seeds of fulfillment.


You have the ability to become more than you are today.

Our experiences as people are like those of seeds.  Like plants, we reflect the heritage we were born into, and the conditions that were around us as we grew shaped our perceptions.  Our shapes were created by our way of acting on those perceptions.  Those shapes further influence the possible outcomes of our next steps.

Plants also show us that amazing things can happen with the right kind of stimulus.  A plant that hasn’t done well can be given a boost, and surpass expectations.
As a seed, you landed where you did.  In order to reach today, you grew in a certain way that is an illustration of what you have received.  You responded to the stimulus to reflect your situation and your feelings about it.
I invite you to visualize yourself finding fresh energy that feeds you with new insights, new ways to take action in your life.

Contact me to talk about how you can use the shape of your life today to re-shape your future, to get the boost that can help you to surpass your expectations and those of others.  I offer a free twenty minute session to find ways that I can support you in finding more time, energy, and inspiration to give your life the meaning it deserves.
