Planting the seeds.

Now that its spring, its time to plant seeds, when we need warmth next fall, we can harvest them, but for now lets plant.

Every season has a reason, I believe it’s a good time to start planting new seeds, trying new things, finding new opportunities.

In the fall and winter, often we don’t want to plant, we tend to be more in survival mode, but the spring is a great time of relief, the sun is out and getting warm again, and there’s still plenty of rain, that makes it planting time.

Im speaking metaphorically here but it’s also true that this is the time to start planting. So what would you like to plant?

Planting seeds can be a metaphor for coming up with a new idea, something to plant that can grow to life. It could be a new business, new skill, new craft.

We can plant a new routine in our lives that helps us to grow into healthier people or we can make an investment, planting a seed to bear its fruit later. The main point of planting seeds, is to do something today for delayed gratification.

This could be a new habit, like mindfulness or stretching. Starting to exercise or learning something you find interesting. We plant the seeds that will grow into things we can’t even fully imagine yet.

The seed first must get roots down, before coming up to the sun, so we give it time to grow, not rushing the process, and before we know it we’ll have a bunch of new habits, new opportunities and new things to try, and enjoy, because we planted seeds. We delayed gratification.

My question for you is, Whats the most important seed for you to plant in your life at this moment?
