Seeds

Some call it karma, others call it the law of life. I'm old school so I stick to the "whatever a man sows, same will he reap"


This piece was inspired by a chat with a friend yesterday evening. He had put together some strategy documents for an organization and a few weeks after the man at the helm signed off the project to get it started.... Cool cash was to come in for the intellectual exercise but right from the point of signing the implementation was diverted to some S.A's and P.A's...... No compensation for my friend and no projects to execute.

When he told me the story, I was furious and was already looking for ways to reach the man at the helm of affairs. But his reactions shocked me, he said "you shall reap what you sow, not where you sow"................ I paused and quietly walked away.

He had in him what so many people lacked, Peace of Mind. He wasn't troubled one bit, although it would be very difficult to execute the project without him but he just smiled and moved on.

On the flip side, my mind was working and I began thinking about all of the things I had done in the past. The fast ones I had pulled and didn't get punished for, the people I had hurt, pains I might have inflicted due to negligence etc.......... Am I alone in this? I don't think so.

What seeds have you been putting in the ground? Especially in the dark', time reveals all things. On the other hand, has anyone done you wrong and you just can't get the vengeance off your mind? let it go. Let it. They'll reap it for certain, not necessarily with you but surely.

 What of closure? you may ask. You really need not focus on that, it will only slow you down. Its like keeping tabs on an ex-girl/boyfriend who did you wrong. I know its not easy to wish them well, but move on already. When the time is ripe you will hear about their harvest or not.

Enough said about wicked deeds, good deeds produce a harvest too. I advice you try putting some good seeds in the ground this weekend,  you never can tell when you'll be reaping it.

Have a wonderful weekend.
