Which seeds are you watering?

A good gardener knows when and how to water the seeds of their fruits and vegetables.

You are also a gardener. You have within you all the seeds: seeds of envy, seeds of joy, seeds of greed, seeds of love, seeds of ambition, seeds of contentment. The question is: which seeds are you watering?

When I watch the news I find that my seeds of negativity, hate, and division get watered.

When I walk in the woods I find that my seeds of tranquility and peace get watered.

When I spend time with people who worship money I find that my seeds of greed get watered.

When I spend time with people who are positive and grateful I find that my seeds of positivity and gratitude get watered.

All we’re really doing is going about our lives watering our own, and each other’s, seeds. We are always watering something. The question is: which seeds are you watering? Which seeds are you watering for yourself, and which seeds are you watering for others?

A conscious gardener knows the answers to these questions. They water carefully, and intentionally.
