We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and

Before anything else let me start off withwhat Robert Louis Stevenson once said, “Don't judge each day by the harvest youreap, but by the seeds you plant. It’s another way to Coach Life.  For LifeBusiness, there are laws!  As amatter of fact there are certain immutable laws. These laws are constant andwill not change. They have stood the test of time; they have existed ever sincethe dawning of time. Most reassuring as there is day and night and as surely asthere is good and evil, there is seedtime and bountiful harvest. This hasalways has been and always will be. It is the constant nature of things.  For a fact, it is indispensable to the cycleof life. Without seedtime and yield there would be no reproduction. These are basicfundamentals in order for continuous existence of life! Most of us are unawareof the implications of how these vital aspects correlate with us. Let usallocate a brief moment of our time to give thorough introspection on thesepoints and how they affect us and our family. Seedtime and Harvest ... How doesthis affect my life?              In layman’s terms, you reap whatyou sow! When you plant bananas you reap bananas. When you plant apples youreap apples. Most of us accept this as a self evident truism. Why does it seemso far fetched then, to accept the fact that when you sow discord you’ll reapdiscord in your life? People, who sow strife, reap strife.  People, who sow joy, reap joy! What you plantinto other people's lives will someday, somehow be reaped in your own life. Youare what you are today because of seeds you’ve sown in the past. You have whatyou have today, because of the decisions you have chosen previously. Today isthe harvest of yesterday's seeds! This is evident since our primordialbeginnings... archaic as it may seem, can you dig it? You reap what yousow!  Coach Life this philosophy. Seedtime and Harvest… How does this affect meand my family?              It affects us in more ways thanyou can ever imagine. The humble beginnings of your family are reflectedthrough the values instilled in your children. How you raise them up toadolescence will reflect your convictions and philosophical views as a parent.Are you planting time? What about belief? How about reliability? What do theyhear at the movie when you are asked about their age? Do you somehow justify a“little white lie”? In my experience, the “little white lies” usually turn into“double feature Technicolor”! Would you compromise their future? Not a good Life Business to do white lies indeed.               If you want champions forchildren then you need to be planting the seeds of greatness. Plant love andReap love! Plant big dreams and ambition you’ll reap a President or amissionary, or a giant of the industry! What are you planting into your wife... or your husband? Is it benevolence, absolution, gratefulness? Their heartsand minds are a cauldron where you brew either greatness or mediocrity. Whatare you reaping? The cause of effect of your decisions will either haunt you oreulogize you in the end.  Provide yourkids a great Life Training.              We need to notice every time weopen our mouth to speak to our spouse. Will this edify or build them up, orwill it heave them down? You see, there are no useless words. They either exaltor curse. They either uplift or devastate! We have two ears ... and one tongue.Maybe we should listen twofold and speak once. Out of necessity it is time westart contemplating on our actions to the ones we love.            How does Seedtime and Harvest affectyour Enterprise?             Our demeanor on how we conduct ourbusiness with our people directly shows who we are. Are we a shrewdopportunistic money hungry capitalist or a benevolent philanthropist? Thesesame laws apply. When you bring someone into your business, do you just windthem up, send them out and hope they make it? You need to invest on theirtraining and education to properly augment their skills to further even theodds for success. Otherwise they will be overburdened with the tasks due totheir ineptitude.  You have to make it apoint to invest on the growth and development of your people as well as theirwell being. It’s been said that there are no bad students ... just bad mentors.A grand teacher takes it very personally when one of his students falter. Hecontemplates on his shortcomings and sees to it that he will be able to rectifythe dilemma and find an alternative way! This approach would revolutionize mostpeople's lives              Plant your talents and gifts intothe lives of other people.  Make surethey succeed.  If they succeed, you will!Because you reap what you sow, it should be firmly established in your heart bynow that if you’ll adjust your thinking from “what’s in it for me” to “what canI do to help”, you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Seedtime andHarvest! Work on having this as PersonalMission. I once read a story about a young boy who hadheard some juicy gossip about one of the leaders in his small town.  And it was just that.  “Juicy Gossip!”     And, of course, he told a few people, whotold a few people, and so on and so on. The object of the gossip had his reputation ruined.  What’s YourWorth? Is your Life Business just a gossip?              The young boy’sfather confronted him.  He told him to goto everybody that he had spoken to and recant the story. And, he had to go toeverybody they spoke to, etc., etc.  Theyoung boy told his father that there was no way that he could get toeverybody.  The father was emphatic.  You can’t miss a one.  The young boy could not grasp the enormity ofthe situation.  He told people, who toldpeople, who told people, and there were probably hundreds of people involvednow.  Surely, he would miss some ofthem.  The father took his son along withan old feather pillow to the top of a local mountain.  He had the boy split the pillow with hisknife and throw the feathers into the wind. They blew every which way.  Someof them caught breezes and blew for miles and miles.  The father then told his son to go pick upall the feathers.  Finally, the ladunderstood.  It was impossible!  He understood that no matter how many peoplehe recanted his story to, there would be those he would miss ... And they wouldtell people... who would tell people ... who would tell people!            We live in a day when lives, families and businesses are destroyed bygossip, innuendo and partial truths. These tales seem to take on a life of their own and grow in theirdestructiveness. This is not the LifeCourse we want. This law is immutable. If you are prejudiceto others, you will be prejudged.  If youbecome a tale bearer then tales will be told on your behalf.  Let your reputation precede you through youracts of kindness and see the rewards of glory or infamy. Illustrious people sow great thing and reap abountiful harvest of a lifetime of greatness! Life is a garden; sow theseeds for a brighter tomorrow.  Our Life Course should be this way.
