The Seeds of Change

The changes that you are making are like tiny seeds in a field of weeds. The weeds are your unwanted behaviors, experiences and beliefs. Hidden in the weeds are tiny seeds that must be nurtured to grow.

Because what we think about expands, if you focus your attention on the weeds (your unwanted behaviors, the excess weight), they grow stronger. Likewise, when we focus on the seeds (your positive behaviors and experiences) the seeds sprout and grow.

The more you focus on these seeds of change, the deeper the roots grow, and the taller and stronger they become. The weeds begin to wither with neglect. Soon they begin to die, and dissolve into the soil, where they become the compost that nourishes your flourishing trees.

Every time you think a positive thought, every time you make a healthy choice, every time you relish in the joy of the present moment, you are nurturing your seeds of change. The roots are growing deeper, and the trunk and branches are growing taller and stronger.
