Remember back in kindergarten when they had you grow the seed in the little cup?  You place the seed in the soil and you water it and soon enough a little green shoot appears.  Thoughts are seeds - when we understand this we can GROW any thought into reality... the secret is that even if we don't understand this we already GROW our thoughts into reality. 

I was sharing this with a client recently - who had grown an unpleasant reality for herself.  One she was quick to blame on everyone and everything else - until I explained how her thoughts (worries and doubts) had given her just what she planted. 

What we discovered was that she wasn't sure the goal (seed) she planted would actually grow and so instead of trusting the universal law of reaping and sowing she continued to dig up her seed by casting doubts and rebuffs at it as it was in the growing stages. She didn't realize that it was just under the surface and ready to shoot to the sky.

As a gardener herself she understood that any seed will die if you continue to pull it up and examine its growth.  The key then is to plant the seed, water it,  feed it, and have faith that in time it will produce the fruit you expect.
