Seeds of Desire

I am inspired by this quote from The Art of Thought, by Gene Dennis.

” You would not plant a valuable seed in your garden and then a day or week after go out and dig it up to see if it were sprouting. Don’t plant the seed of your desire in your subconscious mind and then go out the next morning with doubts and fears. Nourish it by living it in thought, the thing you desire, by realizing it, visualizing it, seeing it as an accomplished fact.”

I love the analogy between planting peas and planting the seeds of our desire. Both require patience, care as love and non-attachment. Days go by and one day we go out and the vines are climbing up the trellis or the tiny stems are poking out from the earth.

It’s harder to leave the seeds of our desire to their own devices. We worry, doubt, question and metaphorically pull our little seedlings out of where they are growing. In effect, we cancel our order to the universe by focusing on not having, not getting – on scarcity and lack.

The Law of Attraction is simple. What we focus on expands. When our focus is really on not having the money, love, health…. that we say we want – we get more of “not having”. Switching our focus to everything coming up in its own perfect time and thriving under our care – creates a sense of eager anticipation that is great for the healthy growth of desire and seeds of all kind.

Every seed knows exactly what’s it supposed to turn into. Same with our seeds of desire. If we nourish them with our attention and a lively imagination and throw them into the universe. Some will grow and some won’t. We walk out of our houses and are constantly amazed at the spectacular surpises our lives keep dishing up for us.

The more we focus on the good stuff and keep the faith about our seeds – the more we can get on with our business smiling.

Plant a seed of desire today. Care for it with the tonic of eager anticipation and positive focus.
