• 0:53
  Speaker 1: do we mean by sewing and reaping, Well, it means
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of different things, but today I want to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: focus on this one in particular, what we sow we
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: will reap. Now, most of us have heard something like
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this before, right, we reap what we sow. What we sow,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we will reap.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: So what's my point.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's very simple. Be careful, be very very careful and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: mindful about what you sow, because whatever seeds we sow,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: whatever seeds we plant, whatever seeds we cast into the wind,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we will reap the harvest of those seeds, those ideas,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: those thoughts that come into our consciousness and that flow
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: out of our mouth. Now, I'll share more about sowing
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and reaping in just a few moments. Right now, I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: want to take just a moment to welcome you. If

  Speaker 1: all about sowing and reaping, and what a perfect topic
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: for today where I live. Gardeners who want to have
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: anything to harvest must.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Be very deliberate, very.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Intentional about planting seeds at just the right time so
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: those seeds will germinate and grow. Now, in my family,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: my parents taught me and my sisters to be grateful
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for the presence, just the simple presence of family. In fact,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we thought of family members as a present, as a gift. Now,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, we certainly had our differences. I mean,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: what family doesn't right, But when we gathered together as
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a family, we set our differences aside. I'm so grateful
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that my family had great spiritual wealth. We didn't have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: much money, but we had a whole lot of honey
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for one another. So when we gathered around the table
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for our family meal, we rejoiced in one another. We
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: rejoiced by counting our blessings, and we rejoiced in God,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of course, the provider.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Of all of our blessings.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Just like most things in life, it's important to understand
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: what sewing and reaping is all about. It's important to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: understand what it is and why it's significant, especially in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: our gotta have it right here, right now culture.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Today, we are.
• 4:16

• 4:21
  Speaker 1: have everything immediately in an instant. We have instant coffee,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: instant tea, instant soup, instant meals for all kinds of food.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Right.

  Speaker 1: better health, more money, more friends.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Perhaps you want to change your friends.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Change who you spend your valuable time with. Maybe you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: want a better relationship with your husband or wife, or parents,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: or sister or brother. Or maybe you haven't seen a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: friend in a long long time and you want to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: reach out to them. Maybe you want a new car,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: or a new apartment or a new home. Maybe your
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: kids are grown up and you want to move into
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a smaller home. Or perhaps you have several small children
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and you simply want peace of mind, a few hours
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a day that you can call your own, a few
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: hours a week where you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Can have an adult conversation. Now, what I'm sharing with you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Today is about sowing and reaping, and what I'm sharing
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: will help you understand how to get whatever you happen
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to want in your life. So, whatever it is you want,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it will help you get from where you are now
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: point A, to where you want to go point B.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: In other words, it will help you get from here
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to there. Sewing and reaping, you reap what you sow,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You get out whatever you put in. Now, you invest
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: so you can earn, You study so you can learn,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you manifest the fruits of your labors. You plant trees today,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: so you will have shade tomorrow. However you say it,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: however you express it. This is what we call sewing
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and reaping. Now, did you know that today is the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: mother of tomorrow? Yes, let me say that again. Today
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is the mother of tomorrow. In other words, what we
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: think about today, we will give birth to tomorrow, or
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: next week, or next month, or next year or maybe
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: two or five years down the road. How we live
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: today shapes our tomorrow. How we live our life is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: called personal leadership. Now, if you've been listening to my podcast,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: or if you've heard me speak before, maybe give a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: keynote or teach or whatever. Maybe you've read one of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: my books or taken one of my courses, you've heard
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: me say this before. Personal leadership is all about the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: choices and decisions you make about your life. Personal leadership
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: is about the choices and decisions you make about everything. Right,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So here's what I know. You are what you eat.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That's right, You are what you eat. And this applies
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: not only to your physical health, right, it also applies
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to your choices and decisions. So again, choose and decide wisely,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: did you know that you are the sum total of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: what you consume and the people that you hang out with,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the people you interact with, the people you spend time with.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So again, be mindful, be thoughtful, be choiceful about who
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and what you listen to, about the books and magazines
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you read, About what you watch on TV or on
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the internet or in the movies. Right, be mindful and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: thoughtful and choiceful about the images and photographs that you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: have in your home and your office, and about what
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you post on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or TikTok,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: right about who and what you allow people to post
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on your timeline. Be mindful, be thoughtful, and be choiceful
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: about who you spend time with in your personal and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: your professional life. Who you are in your daily life
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: informs and shapes you as a leader more than any
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: other single factor. Now why is that Because how you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: live is how you lead. How you live is actually
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: how you do everything, lead, parent, work, community, service, your
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: interactions with family and friends, everything. Now, who you are
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: is comprised of your values, attitudes, and beliefs. Your values, attitudes,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and beliefs shape your character, and your character drives your choices,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: affecting who and what you allow into your field of attention.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Your values, attitudes, and beliefs also shape how you lead,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not to mention who will follow you, or who will
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: want to reach out to you or to collaborate with you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Sewing and reaping, It's all about the seeds we sow,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: because what we sow is what we will harvest. Author
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Annie Dillard reminds us how we spend our days is
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: how we spend our lives. My friend and mentor John
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Maxwell says it this way. Today matters.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: You got that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: If not, I'll say it again. Grab something to write
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: with and be sure to write this down. Today matters.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Two words, two very simple words. Today matters. Those two
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: simple words are powerful words. They are mighty words. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: love them. Today matters because when you think about it,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that's really what legacy living is all about. It's about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: living with purpose and intention today so that you have
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: authority over tomorrow. If you want something to happen in
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: your life, you must give out something today. You must
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: put something out there right. You must sow and plant
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: seeds today. If you want to go to college, to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: build a business, to have better relationships, better health, to
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: have children who grow up to be caring, compassionate, responsible citizens.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: To have what we want tomorrow, we must be purposeful
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and intentional about sowing the seeds today so we can
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: reap the harvest of our efforts tomorrow. What we sew
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: we will reap. Living with purpose and intention today assures
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: us that we will have authority and dominion over tomorrow.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Who and what we are today is the direct result
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of who we have been spending time with, what we've
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: been reading, the images that we've allowed into our consciousness,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: what we've been thinking, what we've been consuming, eating and drinking,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and paying attention to, even the those people, those opportunities
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we have neglected.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: All of the people.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: In things and events that we have allowed into our
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: life have shaped us. They have formed us into who
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: we are today. If we've made wise choices, wise decisions,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: lived wisely yesterday, we will reap the fruits of yesterday's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: labors today, and we will harvest that wisdom to make
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: wise choices and decisions today and in the future. If,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: for instance, we have invested wisely in our health, our relationships,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: our finances.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: We will see the fruits.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: We will see the benefits the results of those investments
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: today and for months and years to come.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: How will we know.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we will have strong bodies, solid relationships, and a
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: strong sure financial footing, just like the story about the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: ant and the grasshopper. The folks who invest wisely today
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: will have plenty tomorrow, just like the industrious ant. But
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: if you're careless, if you are reckless, if you are
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a spendthrift, if you spend everything you have today, or
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: if you're idle and don't do any work, if you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: don't do anything to store up for the months ahead,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you will come up short. Just like the grasshopper. You
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: will have little or nothing in the future. Why, because
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you reap what you sew.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: If you sew nothing, you will have nothing to reap.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: If we do as little as we possibly can to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: get by, or if we do nothing at all, guess
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: what When tomorrow comes, and it will come, we will
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: have little or nothing because we have made the choice.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: We have decided not to sew. Therefore we will have
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: nothing to reap. The law of sowing and reaping applies
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to so many areas of our lives, doesn't it It
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: applies to ourselves. Maybe you're developing a new skill, or
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: new knowledge or new awareness. Maybe you're focused on improving
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: some aspect of your life, your fitness, your finances.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Your marriage. It applies to our.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Relationships, our relationships with everyone, our spouse, our sisters, our brothers,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: our parents. Or perhaps you know you're raising young children,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: or perhaps your children are now grown and you have
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: an empty house or an empty nest. Sowing and reaping
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: applies not only to ourselves and our family life. It
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: also applies to our work, to our teams, our staff,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: our boss, our board, our organization. Whether you're working as
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneur like me, or you work for a corporation,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a nonprofit, the government, an ngo, a school, a church.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're a project manager, maybe you plan events, conferences, programs.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Or perhaps you work in healthcare as a doctor or
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: nurse or a physician's assistant. Maybe you're planning a garden
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: or building a home, or planning a wedding or a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: bar mitzvah, or maybe you're planning a meal for your family.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: The law of sewing and reaping applies.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I want to take a closer look at sewing and reaping.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: There's actually a law about reaping, that's right, a law
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: just about the harvest. This law is all about actions
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and consequences. This law says you harvest what you sew.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: It also says you harvest what you sow in kind.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And this law also says you harvest more than you sow.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So that's what the law of the harvest says. Again,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: this law is about actions and consequences, about cause and effect.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, some folks refer to the law of the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: reaping the law of the harvest as the law of
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: cause and effect. But I like the law of the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: harvest because that's from God, and I'm going to use
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the language from his word, which is all about harvest. Now,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: there are lots of interpretations, both negative and positive interpretations
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: of this law, so I'm going to focus on the positive, okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: So today will shine the light on the positive interpretations
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: of this important law. This law says that no matter
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: where you live, if you plant seeds in good soil,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and if you tend to those seeds with loving care,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you can and will have a harvest. But what kind
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: of harvest? Well, that's the question, isn't it. As I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, the law of the harvest says these three things. Now,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: they sound similar, but they're very different. Okay, So write
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: these down, and then I'm going to say I'm a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: little bit more about each one of them. The first
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: thing this law says is you harvest what you sew.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Number two, you harvest what you sew in kind. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: then number three, you harvest more than you sew. So
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: let's look at each of these parts of the law.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: First of all, you harvest what you sew. Now, this
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: part of the law says that whatever you plant, okay,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: whatever you put in the ground, whatever you water and nurture,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: whatever you put out there into the world in terms
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of your ideas, your books, your teachings, your whatever that
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: happens to be right, building a team, Okay, all of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: those things that you put out there come back to you.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: So this is a very basic understanding, a very basic
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: aspect of the law. The second aspect of the law
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: is you harvest what you sew in kind.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Now, this part of the law is more specific. So
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the first part says that what you plant will come
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: back to you. This part of the law says that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: not only will it come back to you, but what
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you sew, what you plant, what you put out there,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: will come back to you in kind. This simply means
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that if you want to harvest potatoes, then you plant
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: potato seeds.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: If you want to harvest pumpkins, then you have to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: plant pumpkin seeds. If you want love, then you sow
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the seeds of love. You offer someone a hand, you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: offer someone the encouragement of your warm smile, or words
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of edification and upliftment and encouragement. What you put out
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: into the world will come back to you. What you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: say to a coworker or your child or a team member,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: or your parent or a friend or a name will
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: come back to you in kind. So you must be deliberate, thoughtful,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and intentional about what you put out there because the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: essence of what you sew will definitely come back to you. Now,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: listen to me very closely. I want you to hear this.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: What you put out to a particular person may not
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: come back to you from that person. In fact, it
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: is very likely to come from or through somebody else. Right,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And what you put out there may not come back
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to you today or tomorrow, or the next day, or
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: whenever you might be expecting it. But let me tell
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you it will come back. It will come back to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you in some future time, some future moment, perhaps from
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a total stranger. And when that harvest of what you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: put out does come in, because it will come, it
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: will come back to you in kind. Okay, So the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: essence will come back to you. And the key is
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to be in tensional. Now, the third aspect of this
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: law is that you harvest more than you sow. This
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: means that your harvest will yield a bigger crop than
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the number of seeds that you plant.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna repeat that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: This means that your harvest will yield a bigger crop
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: than the actual number of seeds you plant, the actual
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: number of ideas or words or resources that you sow.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: For example, if I plan a carrot seed, right, just
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: one little seed, I won't just reap a single carrot, right,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a harvest of a whole bunch of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: carrots from one tiny little seeds. Now, who knows how
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: many carrots will be in that bunch, but we know
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: it will be much more than a single carrot.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: If I plant an avocado seed in the right soil
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: with the right conditions, and I nurture that avocado seed,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: or somebody comes behind me and nurtures that seed. Guess what,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: that one avocado seed will grow into an avocado tree,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a tree, and the yield, the production of that avocado
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: tree will be much much more than a single avocado seed.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, the seed that I plant it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Now, this is the basic concept in my work with
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: leaders when I sew into them. When I sow into leaders,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I'm also sowing into people who sow into other leaders
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: around them. Okay, so that my sowing reaps a harvest
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: in the tens or scores or hundreds or thousands of
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: other leaders that will be impacted. All right, So let's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: talk about timing. We reap the harvest of what we
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: sow in a different season at a different time, in
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: other words, right than we actually sow in. Other words,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: if we sow in one season at one time of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the year, we will harvest in another season. Sometimes the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: period between sowing and reaping is huge.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: It's immense.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's very very long. Sometimes it's not so long
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: at all. As my favorite book tells us, there is
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a time for everything, and a season for every activity
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: under the heavens. A time to be born and a
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: time to die, a time to plant and a time
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a time to tear down and a time to build,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a time to weep and a time to laugh.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So much more.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I just love this passage from Ecclesiastes. What Solomon is
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: saying to us is that for everything and anything you
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: can possibly imagine, that you can possibly think of and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: do in your life, there is a time for it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Farmers know this, gardeners know this, Politicians know this, actors
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: know this, doctors know this, teachers know this, parents know this,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: children know this.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Leaders know this.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Everything has its own time, and everything has its own
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: timing or season. So what we sow in one season,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we will reap the harvest of that sewing in another season.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Years ago, when I was first starting out in my
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: career in IT, I was a project manager and I
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: loved my work.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I think I.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Really loved being in charge of people. I just like
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: being in charge. Let's just be clear. So I loved
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: being in charge of people, the process, and I love
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: saying no to the engineers who wanted to add just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: one more feature to the product.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Of course, they would always say, we can do this, right,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: we just need to add a few more people to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: your team to get it done, or maybe we can
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: increase your budget, give you more money so you can
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: pay the people you already have more, or maybe we
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: can just buy you.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: More equipment or whatever.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Right, And I would commonly listen to their request, then,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: just as calmly point out that more people would actually
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: add more time because the learning curve was way too steep, Right,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And I'd also point out that more money for the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: people already on the team was not the answer. Most
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: people who work in it are not motivated by money.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, we like money, but we're not motivated by money.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: They're motivated by more interior things like solving complex problems.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So I would ultimately pull out my ACE card, Right,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and I'd simply say something like, you know, no matter
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: how much money or people or equipment this meant you add,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it still will take nine months to have that baby, right, Okay,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to produce that product in this case or service or
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: whatever we were working on now. To manifest anything requires
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: time and timing. You sow in one season, you reap
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: in a different season. And that's so true in any
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: aspect of our lives. Dancing visionary and pioneer Martha Graham
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: likens dancing to the art of living, and both, she
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: says require years of practice and development. In her autobiography
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Blood Memory, Graham points out that we learn to dance
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: by practicing dancing, and we learn to live by practicing living.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: She says, in dancing and in living, the principles are
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the same. Each is the performance of a dedicated, precise
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: shape of achievement, the sense of one's being, the satisfaction
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of spirit.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: For dancing and for living, we learn what we need
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to know through practice, which requires thousands upon thousands of repetitions.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, the thousands of repetitions are the seeds we
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: sew to reap the harvest of becoming a dancer. In
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: daily living, you learn and master walking, talking, and feeding
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: yourself over several years of practice. Right, I mean you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: learn to by practicing the basics, first learning to crawl
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: or scoot right, and then pushing and pulling into the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: vertical realm to grasp the eager at encouraging hands of
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: your parents, or your sisters, or your brother, or a table,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: leg or chair or anything else strong enough to give
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you the confidence to begin again after the inevitable triumph
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: of gravity over your miniature yet ever aspiring body. Practice
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: is the act of doing something in some aspect of
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: our lives, over and over until the act becomes habit
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: or instinct, so customary, so usual, that it becomes integral,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: integral to your way of doing whatever you're practicing, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: then integral to your way of being, inextricably connecting what
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you do with who you are. I was just having
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a conversation the other day with a friend and she said,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you know, Gloria, in your writing, you write a lot
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: about gratitude and faithfulness, right, and integrity and creative action
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and love and vision, And those are the same things
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: we're talking about in terms of practice. Right, we get
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: good at gratitude, We get really good, okay, at loving,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: We get really really good at being a person of
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: integrity by practicing. Now, dancers learn to dance by practicing
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the fundamentals of their craft over and over and over
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: again until they can move on to intermediate.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: And advanced levels.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Their training is to designed to build strength and shape
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and hone their bodies, musculature, their reflexes, and memory. I
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: remember because I was a dancer. Now, I didn't train
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: rigorously until I was in junior high school. And I'm
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: telling you, you have to pound a lot of floors.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: You have to plant a lot of seeds to become
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a real dancer. Graham estimates that making a mature dancer
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: takes about ten years. This span of a decade in
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the dancer's training is analogous to the formative years of
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: your life, when you learn the fundamental tasks and assignments
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: of living right, the basic arts of relationship, nourishment, mobility,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and possibility. As Graham reminds us, it is no small
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: wonder that dance holds an age allure, for she says,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: it has been the symbol of the performance of living.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I love that in your life's.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Journey or your life's performance, some of the most important
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: questions that you grapple with may be questions about your
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: performance in whatever sphere of life that holds the most
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: prominence for you at the time. It could be questions
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: about your work life, your family life, your faith life.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: It could be questions about your children, your health, your finances.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Host these questions, looking through the lens of the law
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: of harvest, host the questions as you would host a
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: special guest in your home, pay attention but avoid hovering
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: over them. Consider what you would like for your harvest
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to be. Then think about and be intentional about what
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: seeds you plant, not just here and there, not just
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: with some things in your life, but with everything.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: In your life.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: So ask yourself, what do I want? What do I
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: want in my life? A new job, better health, more money,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: more friends, children who are loving and kind, or maybe
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: for yourself, you want to be more generous or more grateful.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe you want to lose weiter, have a better relationship
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: okay with people on your team, people in your household.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Or maybe you want to reach out to your.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Dad who you haven't seen or spoken to in twenty years.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe you want to learn a new skill or a
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: new language. Maybe you have several small children under the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: age of seven, and you simply want a quiet day,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: a quiet afternoon. Hey, just a few hours that you
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: can call your own, A few hours a week where
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you can have an adult conversation. What I'm sharing with
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: you today about the law of the harvest will help
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you understand how to get whatever you want.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: In your life. Again, if you want to get from point.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: A to point B. It will help you get from
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: wherever you are now to where you want to be.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: If you want any of those things that I just mentioned,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: remember that what you want does not just happen overnight.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: If you want a deep friendship, you've.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Got to sew into that relationship. Right.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: If you want to lose twenty pounds to fit into
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that suit or tuxedo or your beautiful dress for that
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: special party, you've got to change your eating habits today,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: probably yesterday for most of us. Right, you've got to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: start walking or jogging or running or swimming or you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: getting on your elliptical. Right. If you want to publish
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: a book twelve months from now, you've got to start
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: writing those pages today, and you got to keep at
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: it tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. Okay, again,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: we're talking about sewing and reaping right now. Years ago
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I read a book by Anne Lamont, one of my
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: favorite writers. The book is called Bird by Bird. I
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: pulled it off the shelf because I was intrigued by
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the title. Now, the title actually comes from a story
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: about her younger brother. It seems that her younger brother
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: had a knack for procrastinating, for putting things off, especially
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: his homework. Her brother had an assignment to write a
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: paper about birds, and he put it off and put
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: it off until the day before the paper was due.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Well, now he was in a jam. So her little
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: brother asked their dad for help since he was kind
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: of short on time right now. Aware of his pre dicament,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the dad told the little boy that his homework.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Was his to do.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Well, the son pleaded with his dad and asked him
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: how he was ever going to complete his homework assignment
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: since it was already late and it was due the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: next day. Well, the dad looked lovingly at his little
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: son and he said, son, you will write and complete
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: your paper, how.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Bird by bird. Now a lot of us are like that,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: aren't we.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: We want what we want, and we want it yesterday,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: we want it overnight right, and oftentimes we want it
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: without having to put in a whole lot of work,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of effort, and truth be told, sometimes
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: we want what we want with no effort at all
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: on our part. Now people come up to me all
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the time and they say, you know, doctor Gloria, I want.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: To do what you do.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I want to write a book, I want to tea
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: which I want to coach. Oh, I want to be
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: a speaker. I want to start my own business. Can
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you just tell me how you did it? In other words,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: they want what I have, but most of them don't
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: want to put in the time I put in to
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: get from here to there. They want the results, but
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: they don't want the work right. They want the harvest,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: but they don't want to go through the process. They
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: don't want to do what's necessary in seeding and sewing
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and watering and nurturing and turning over the soil and
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: going back again and checking and watering over and over again. Now,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: how many of you know that if you want to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: improve your serve in tennis, or your pitch and baseball,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: or your golf swing, you cannot improve your game overnight.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: If you have a two two point five grade point average,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: you can't slough off all year long and then wait
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: until the very last week of school and write one
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: bang up paper to bump your GPA up to four
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: point zero.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: If you want to fit into that lovely, you know
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: swimsuit you have when it's time to hit the beach,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: you are going to have to begin to tone and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: maybe shed a few pounds weeks, if not months, before
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: beach season arrives. Now, a lot of us love to
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: make New Year's resolutions, right, and most of us love
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: making those special promises. We all want to change our life,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: or kick some kind of habit, or achieve some kind.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Of goal in our life.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Now, most of you know that New year's resolutions fizzle
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: out after about.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Three or four weeks.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Right, Why do we begin with a bang and end
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: with a bust? We begin with lots of gusto and
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: energy and effort. Then over time we lose sight of
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: our goal, we lose interest, or we don't see immediate results,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: or something else comes along to compete for that time.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: And gradually, bit by bit we began to slack off,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and before you know it, we aren't putting in the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: time or the effort anymore. No effort, no results, right,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: or we get results, but not the ones we want
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: right now. Health clubs know this better than anybody. They
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: get their biggest spike in sales right after the New year.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: That's reaping. And guess what you are the harvest.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I sing in my church choir and to prepare for
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: special concerts like special holidays, you know, like Christmas, we
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: actually start preparing many many months in advance. I mean,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: people come from miles around, those who go to the church,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: those who don't go to the church. They love Christmas
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: and they love Christmas music. Some of these folks may
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: only come to church once a year just to hear
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: that beautiful Christmas music. Right, So the folks in our
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: worship ministry prepare our hearts out. The choir and the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: orchestra begin preparing for these Christmas concerts before summer is
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: even over. And get this, the choir and orchestra directors
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: actually begin listening to new Christmas music way back in
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the spring so that they can order music and be
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: ready to rehearse that music when late summer arrives, so
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: that when December comes, we can pour our hearts and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: souls into singing and playing those exquisitely beautiful Christmas.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Songs that everybody loves to hear.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: You reap what you sew. We all know the saying
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: that Rome wasn't built in a day, or big oaks
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: from little acorns, grow or train up your child in
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: the way he should grow, and when he is old,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: he will not depart from it. However, you say it,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: however you express it. Today is the mother of tomorrow,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: and it's all about the law of the harvest. If
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: you've been listening to this podcast, or if you've heard
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: me speak before, or if you've read any of my
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: books or taken any of my courses, you've heard me
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: say this before. If you want authority over tomorrow, you
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: must live with intention today. Why what we think about
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: today we will give birth to tomorrow or next week,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: or next month or next year. How we live today
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: shapes our tomorrow. So, as I mentioned earlier in the show,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: be mind be thoughtful, Be choiceful about who and what
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: you listen to, about the books and magazines you read,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: about what you watch on TV or the internet. Be mindful,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: be thoughtful, Be choiceful about the images and photographs you
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: have in your home and in your office, and what
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: you post on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, and about
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: what and who you allow to post on your timeline.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Be mindful, thoughtful, and choiceful about who you spend time
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: with in your personal and professional life, because who you
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: are in your daily life informs and shapes who you
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: are as a leader more than any other single factor.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: How you live is how you lead. It's how you
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: do everything. So we are talking about the law the
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: harvest specifically, and sowing and reaping all right. So if
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: you want something to happen in your life, you must
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: give something today. You must sow and plant seeds today.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I want a beautiful backyard next spring, which means I
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: must prune my roses in early and late fall. It
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: also means in early spring I need to feed them
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: right so that they will come back more vibrant, more
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: robust than ever.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: If I want a beautiful yard next spring, I have
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: to rake and pick up the last of the fallen
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: leaves so that the plants beneath them won't be smothered
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: by the load. It means I have to put parts
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: of the garden to rest so that next spring, tender
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: shoots will push forth from the earth. Who we are
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: today is a result of tending to the garden of
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: who we are, of who we spend our time with,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: what we spend our time reading, watching, eating, the images
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: that we allow into our consciousness, what we think right,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: All the things and people that we've been paying attention to,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: that we've been consuming and processing and metabolizing. We are
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the result of the people and opportunities that we have
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: neglected as well. So all the people, all the things,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: all the circumstances that we have allowed into our life
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: or not, all of those people, moments, events have shaped
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: us have formed us into who we are today. All right, Okay,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Our topic today has been sowing and reaping, and we
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: now know that anything you want to harvest, you must
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: be very intentional about planting seeds for that harvest at
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: the right time so that those seeds will germinate and grow.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Every day matters. So if you want to make a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: difference in your life, remember this. How you live is
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: how you lead. And be sure to listen to this
