Although I am not a gardener, I have planted a few gardens and enjoyed the fruits of those gardens. My son-in-law is a gardener and raises a large vegetable garden every year. They have salads from their garden all summer and then they can tomatoes and make salsa to enjoy all winter. But they didn't have any corn this year; they like fresh corn and wish they had fresh corn...but no corn. Why didn't they have any corn? Well, they didn't plant corn. They planted lettuce, tomatoes and peppers, but they didn't plant corn.
You may be asking yourself what this has to do with Day 4 and success. It has everything to do with it. Our mind is like the soil in a garden. What ever thoughts and ideas we plant in our mind is what will grow there. If we plant a goal in our mind and stay focused on it, it will take root and grow to become a vital part of our lives. But, like my son-in-law's garden, if we don't plant that seed of success, that goal we say we want, then there will be nothing to harvest because we didn't plant the seed.
So, "decide now what you want and plant your goal in your mind...All you've got to do is plant that seed in your mind; care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality. Each of us must live off the fruit of our thoughts in the future, because what you think today and tomorrow--next month and next year--will mold your life and determine your future. You're guided by your mind." from The Strangest Secret to Success.
How are you doing with your goal? Some of you have just joined this challenge; let us know what day you're on. Sharing your struggles with the rest of us will help all of us become more successful.
