[00:00.00]Sow the Seed—See the Harvest 播下种子，期盼收获
[00:06.62]The story is told of two boys who were walking through a field
[00:12.53]and found some corn seeds scattered1 across the ground.
[00:16.24]They each took one of the seeds home and planted it.
[00:19.95]When the first boy didn’t see a tiny sprout2 after the second day,
[00:25.53]he dug up the seed to see if it had sprouted3.
[00:29.02]Each day he dug up the seed and replanted it,
[00:34.08]but the corn would not grow.
[00:35.81]The seed had germinated;
[00:38.12]yet the boy had not allowed it to maintain contact with the soil,
[00:42.27]take root, and obtain nutrients4.
[00:45.32]So, it died.
[00:47.19]The second boy planted his seed and left it alone.
[00:51.78]He imagined a tall stalk of corn
[00:55.27]where he had planted the seed.
[00:57.39]He waited patiently as rains came
[01:01.43]and sunshine bathed the ground with warmth.
[01:04.07]In ten days, a small sprout had broken through the ground,
[01:08.96]its curled leaves reaching toward the sky.
[01:12.04]Achieving any desire,
[01:14.24]whether large or small,
[01:15.86]begins with a seed sown in the mind.
[01:19.68]That seed is the vision of its fulfillment.
[01:23.20]It also requires the commitment to allow the vision to grow.
[01:28.23]Commitment in daily life allows life’s storms to strengthen resolve.
[01:34.14]Resolve allows us to nurture5 a new dream,
[01:37.75]improve an existing dream,
[01:40.13]or even begin over if necessary.
[01:43.11]How often do we plant the seed of a beautiful dream
[01:47.04]in the fertile soil of our minds,
[01:49.46]and then dig it up?
[01:51.08]What could you achieve if you allowed your seed to grow,
[01:55.14]continuing to focus your spiritual eyes on the harvest?
[01:59.19]Just sow your seed,
[02:01.25]allow it to grow,
[02:02.79]and see an abundant harvest.
