 Let me share with you a story I read not too long ago. Once upon a time, there’s a man so successful and happy that people far and wide came to him asking him how he did it. They ask him how he can be so blessed. They point to his loving family, his great job, his financial abundance, to his fantastic friends.
And even any curious soul would indeed ask the same things. And he answered, “Just keep planting.” Yes, keep planting seeds—that’s his theory. For him, there are 2 seasons in the universe—the planting season, and the harvest season. What the curious people don’t know, is that this successful and happy man they admire and envy at the same time is actually just like some of us—who dreamed, who labored, who struggled and who persisted.

For 35 years, he was still in planting season. Now, he was reaping the fruits of his labor. Now, he’s at the harvest season of his life. For years, he keep planting and never gives up until he succeeded. It was at those moments in his life he was faced with hardships and suffering, but he never wavered in his faith.
In short, planting season is about chasing after the blessings, while harvest season is about blessings chasing after you—if you don't quit. So how to get to harvest—you may ask. First, just keep planting even if you see no visible results—yet. Just like some of us, maybe you’ve been looking for a job for so long, but still, there’s nothing in sight.
That’s okay—don't give up looking and applying anyway. Or perhaps you’ve been dying to find that true love of your life, but you always end up with a broken heart. Never mind—never be jaded and keep on dating and looking for The One. Or perhaps you’re struggling on your finances, but you’re still in debt.
Never lose heart—keep trying and working on it. Some of us think that if we keep planting, we’ll harvest. But alas, that’s not how it works. You got to keep planting and never giving up…and then you’ll harvest. So don’t lose heart for harvest is coming! But don’t forget also that you need to plant your seeds in the suitable environment—for if you have the right seeds planted in the wrong environment, there’s still no harvest to look forward to.
So you got to have faith for it’s the abundance mindset to water and supply ample sunlight to your seeds. So, if you’re looking for a job, the love of your life, your financial blessings, aside from working hard on it, expect to make it happen. Expect to reap the fruits of your labor and cultivate that abundance mindset and welcome its possibility in your life—even at harvest time.
