Day 311 of wisdom
“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
Robert Louis Stevenson
In life, what you give is what you get, life cannot be cheated neither will life cheat anyone, whatever you sow you will reap. If today you are receiving receiving the reward of yesterdays work and you are not satisfied with what you are receiving then, you have to reexamine your actions of yesterday, it must have been the direct cause of todays happenings. Todays harvest is a result of the seeds sowed yesterday.
As it is with sowing and reaping, you cannot reap today what you sow today, there is an harvest time that must be waited for, there is a waiting period, a germination period, and a maturity period before harvest is reached. So, whatever seed you plant today you don't reap from today, but what you have planted in the years, months, and days gone by are the ones you will harvest today. One should therefore not judge each day by its harvest but by the seeds that was planted in it. If todays harvest is not good, watch the seed you have been sowing, because if you continue to sow the same seed you will continue to reap the same fruit.
Meister Eckhart once said, "What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action." Doing is the guarantee for growth, contemplation takes you nowhere. If you want to have a thing tomorrow, you must work today to get it tomorrow, what you did not work for yesterday, you can not get today. We must also remember that during an harvest you reap in multiple folds what you sowed, so, if you sow little evil deeds you receive multiple evil rewards, and if you sow little good deeds, you will reap multiple good deeds.
Someone once said, “If you want change then make changes, if you want to be treated well then treat others well, if you want to be loved than love others. Don’t expect to get something when you aren’t doing it yourself. Too many people expect perfection from others yet fail to give out what they expect.” Whatever you expect to get, to harvest, is what you should be ready and willing to give, and sow. You can't reap what you did not sow, so plant good seeds today and reap pleasant harvest tomorrow.
