The Law of Sowing
I am learning the law of sowing and reaping. The story is found in the Bible. It is also the law of averages. 1.The sower was ambitious. That becomes clear when you read the whole story. 2.He had excellent seed. The sower who sowed the seed had excellent seed. Excellent seed can be an excellent opportunity and, or excellent products. We have an ambitious sower with excellent seed.
For the drama of my life learning these laws will make me rich like those who have gone before me. The sower goes out to sow, some of the seeds fall by the wayside and the birds get the seed. When I go out and share opportunity the birds are going to get some. How does this pan out in reality.
I invite John to a meeting. He says he will be there, Tuesday night. Tuesday night, I show up, John isn’t there. I say to myself. “I wander why John didn’t make it?” Aha, the birds got John. The birds. John had this great idea to come to a meeting to look at an opportunity and somebody stalled it. “Hey, you not going to go to see network marketing?” And he says, “Well, maybe not.”
Philosophy towards those that don’t Get It.
The birds are going to get some. When the birds get some you have two options. 1.You can chase the birds. You can say, “Let me get to the guy that told him not to come. I’ll tear him a new page.” Do not do that. Here is what happens when you go chasing birds. You leave the field. If you go chasing birds you leave the field. Which is going to subtract from your future not add. You can’t chase birds and try to straighten things out. It is just one of those things.
When things are a little disappointing here is the best comment, “Isn’t that interesting?” You can think that John was going to come to the meeting. He promised me. He promised me. But the best thing to do is say to yourself, “Isn’t that interesting?”
Here is the secret to the success of the sower. He kept on sowing. And if you keep sowing you are going to get more coming in because there aren’t enough birds out there. Just keep on sowing. There are some birds but keep on sowing. The law of averages is going to work for you
A mentor once told Jim Rohn that they were only nine or ten really nasty people in the world. They move around a lot and you a liable to meet one of them. You will bump into them once in a while. If you bump into one you can say, “There is only nine others like you. I can handle that.” Learn to handle rejection.
The sower keeps on sowing and the seed falls on rocky ground where the soil is shallow. Hey, the rocky ground where the soil is shallow is not of your making. You have excellent seed and you are an ambitious sower. This time the seed starts to grow, the little plant starts to grow. But the first hot day, it withers and dies. This is not an easy thing to watch.
Philosophy towards those that don’t Stay
I finally get John started. Sure enough someone says, “Boo!” He is gone. He doesn’t show up at the second meeting. I thought sure, John would at least last a week. What happened? The hot weather is going to get some. This is not of your making. Here is what you must say. “Isn’t that interesting? Wow.” What can you do? The answer is nothing. You can try and change things. Don’t take that class.
The sun comes out in the east and someone say, “Why is that?” I would not spend much time on that. Just let that happen. Don’t go for this why, why, why, stuff. Stuff happens. The answer is in the structure. The consequences is in the deal. Study the deal. Anything beyond that is not worth studying.
“How come some just last a little while?” I would not sign up for that class. Here is the answer, “SOME DON’T STAY”. When someone leaves he is just one on of those that don’t stay. Now you know what category to put them. You can’t solve this thing. It’s like rearranging the seasons. you can’t fool with that. All you can do is co operate with the way things are set up. I’ll be back soon.
