Monday Motivation for Success from Siva (61): A fertile heart combined with a nurturing mind makes life more meaningful

Hi,
A fertile land is needed to make seeds germinate, grow, and yield a crop. Similarly a fertile heart is a must for us to help our thoughts and ideas germinate and take shape. When complimented by a prepared mind, they get nurtured, grow further, and yield fruitful results. Let us look at these verses from the Holy Bible to learn to make our hearts more fertile and minds more mindful..

A fertile heart combined with a nurturing mind makes life more meaningful
(Source of info: The Holy Bible)

“A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them."
 - Matthew 13:3-30 

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.”
- 1 Corinthians 3:6

“It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.”
- 2 Timothy 2:6

"He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness"
- 2 Corinthians 9:10 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not just enough we get right thoughts and powerful ideas. It is important that we develop a mind that positively understands their value and a heart that receives them with right emotions and supports them. That would not be enough though for a great harvest. We should be willing to put in necessary efforts to transform our mission on earth not only practically viable but also richly successful. Hard work pays always. And, there is no substitute to hard work. When we put in our efforts and perform our responsibilities in right manner, we become eligible for god's blessings. He is always there. His blessings are always there with you.

To your continued SUCCESS,

With love,

Siva
