Planting Seeds

Mind is the principle center of creation.
Jack Kornfield


I am not sure that everything we are given, be it beautiful or painful, is a result of the thoughts we place in USC.  I am not sure our thinking is directly responsible for the external experiences we encounter.  I do believe, however, that our lives are a result of what we do with them. I believe there is, at play, more forces than thought and belief creating our external worlds.  This thought and belief can determine the quality of life we live.

After this quote, Jack Kornfield goes on to say that maybe we cannot create the exact life we want through our thinking but, at least, we can plant the best possible seeds in our minds, therefore in our lives, that will make our expereiences  more positive and beautiful, despite the challenges we encounter.

These seeds are compassion, kindness, patience, genorosity, selflessness, peace and love.

Hmmm!

What is given to us in this life time doesn't matter as much as what we do with it.
