(From the book “HOW TO ENJOY PLENTY”, pp 20)
HAPPINESS, SUCCESS, HEALTH and PLENTY will start growing up all around you. “These blessings shall come upon you and OVERTAKE thee, if thou shalt hearken.” Deuteronomy 28:3
If you are traveling 40 miles, these BLESSINGS OF PLENTY will travel 50 miles per hour to “overtake” you.
You are a seed-planter, whether you realize it or not. The situation around you is the harvest of the seeds you have planted.
The way you think and talk and act ARE THE SEEDS YOU ARE PLANTING. Wise and successful people have all learned, sooner or later that any change of their environment had to begin inside themselves.
God has given to you every blessing you can ever need or desire. He has handed them to you in seed form.
All you have to do is plant them. How do you do that?
- By what you THINK
- By what you SAY
- By what you DO
You reap your crop from the seed you plant. You grow your own circumstances by the thoughts and words and deeds which you sow every day. Since thoughts always come FIRST, all changes begin in YOU – not in others.
Don’t make the mistake of trying to change others. Don’t even try to change YOURSELF. Just feed into yourself the right information. You automatically become what you plant in yourself through your eyes, ears and mind.
There is no need to hitchhike through life when God planned (and has in reserve) for you plenty of happiness, health, success and prosperity.
