All Fruit Ain't Good Fruit!

As a developing young lady, I constantly try to work on something about myself. Lately, my main focus has been sowing good seeds. The whole concept is, that if you sow good seeds, you will reap a good harvest. This concept is better known to some people as "Karma". I used to feel like when I was wronged I had to rectify the wrong myself, by getting back at whoever did me wrong….

HOWEVER……

I was WRONG! Girrrrrrl When I tell you that you do NOT have to worry about getting back at other people, or worry about what they do to you! I don't think there is enough emphasis that I could place on that! Out of all of the areas of me that I try to work on, I find this concept to be the most rewarding. Here is why:

1. When you sow good seeds (doing for others, complimenting people, smiling at a stranger, holding the door for someone, etc..) you FEEL GOOD!

2. When you sow good seeds you will ALWAYS reap a good harvest; I don't care what it looks like right now, if you have been sowing good into the Universe, God will make sure that the Universe is good to you. 

3. To know that you are sowing good seeds is to know that whatever anyone else says, does, or thinks about you has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with you. For example: If you know you have done everything that your mom has asked you to do and she is walking around the house with an attitude, you're like "girl bye" (in your head of course) because you know it's not anything you've done.

4. Finally, by knowing that if you sow good seeds you will reap a good harvest, you can also rest peacefully in knowing that if people are trying to sow bad seeds into your life, THEY ARE going to reap a bad harvest NOT YOU! If bad things start happening to you because of these toxic people, that fruit is not for you and you have every right to throw it away. 

Living life by this concept will not totally rid you of bad days, I would never lie to you and say that it will. However, it will give you a peace that is seriously unexplainable. Since I have started down this journey I laugh more and worry less, and it has made me view life in a way that I never could have imagined.

• I apologize more frequently and with less apprehension.
• I say what is on my mind but I do it in love.
• Small things do not bother me as much.
• I am becoming more and more grateful every day.

This may not sound like much, but when living in a world that is so focused on material things, it feels good to be able to coast on my own path and focus more on opportunities, travel, relationships (whether friendships, family, love, etc..) and to find out that the things that I want and love the most in this world cannot usually be bought or earned. They are to be love, respected, adored, and cherished.

Always with love,
