Inspirations from nature are always present, right there for you to discover when you go outside and to connect to them.
Recently, I realized the correlation between Forcing Nature and Forcing Thoughts. I am amazed at how, when we leave nature alone, it responses with and by built in intention, nature knows what to do and doesn’t need our help. That is similar to our own nature and our corresponding thoughts both negative and positive.
Sometimes we try to Mess with our own Nature and TRY so hard to MAKE something happen. This is called the Law of Reversed Effect.
In September, I planted some carrot and beets seeds, germination is said be less than 3 weeks. (I’ve been successful growing these before). Six weeks go by, I fret and plant more, nothing…I write to the seed company and ask for a refund, I get the refund. I question my ability to garden…the soil is rich, I gave those seed babies plenty of water from my rain barrel stock. I was very impatient. Then I resigned myself and let it go. And guess what!? Those carrot tops sprouted, maybe it was too hot for them..I plant in the fall so I can have a winter garden…I am learning still after 60 years of being in Texas that Fall doesn’t mean a cool Fall..I planted too soon. Those seeds knew when to come up and they patiently waited for RIGHT TIMING.
It is impossible to force something, it is also exhausting. When we can connect the seed of thought in the subconscious we can gain helpful information and cooperation to bring out into our conscious life experience and bloom beautifully like those carrot tops.
How many times do we want to dig up our seeds and inspect what is doing on under the ground?
Habits of thinking are the most difficult habits to break and can send us into self condemnation which produces more trouble. Do not dwell upon your mistakes or upon the slowness of your progress, but rather claim the wisdom and power within you. And expect only good can come from your wholehearted and positive efforts.
