For many years, during this incarnation, and eventually at others, I’ve blamed others for my conquers. Obviously were the disgraces, the pain, deceptions, flaws and mistakes. I was never responsible. It’s more comfortable to pursue the guilty at any other place where’s there is no defense. The witch hunt is easier somewhere else.
But later, way ahead in time, I could understand that everything in life is a wheel which fuel is called Cause and Effect. If I want to understand the present, I have to search for the true explanations in my past. What I am today is the result of my decisions through the days, until the present moment.
Many times I’ve heard that we must know how to plant. Few I understood and assimilated from this true, for I always associated it in a wrong way. It’s much more serious that you think. Every plantation demands technique. In a mountain, the correct technique is level curves, differently from a flat ground. That’s the same in life.
We can’t likewise ignore the composition of the soil. Each one has on its composition, particularities, virtues and deficiencies. That’s the same in life.
Finally, the needs of the soil have to be balanced according to the fertilizer deficiencies. Neither more nor less than it needs. That’s the same in life.
But how, could you ask?
Our thoughts are the seeds. Here the absolute shaping of the human being effectively begins. The start of the journey is in our thoughts. They are our seeds. We can contaminate them with negative things or make them stronger with positive thinking.
The soil represents our attitudes. Directed, created in our thoughts, will give shape and consistency to our lives. Hence it’s not true to consider somebody responsible for what we couldn’t get. We effectively decide what we are.
And the fertilizer?
Obviously, it’s the love we apply to our attitudes. There’s no conflict when one does not desire it…The most important and fundamental is that we comprehend the composition of this love. Exactly as a fertilizer, it must be adequate to each situation.
Like a son, different from the other. Like a friend in his own way. A co-worker is even more complicated. Nothing that’s applied in a bar can be taken to the firm environment. There aren’t two identical human beings. So love must be dosed and characterized to each situation, each human being.
It’s fundamental that we study the characteristics of each person, exactly like with each soil. What applies to one can be bad for the other. Each one interprets their way, according to their level of evolution. There’s no absolute true. That’s yours, this is mine. They might look alike, but never identical.
To know how to plan so you know how to harvest; to know how to think in order to have the right attitude, this is the path.
Today, I am the result of my past decisions.
