What you think upon grows. This is an Eastern maxim, and it sums up neatly the greatest and most fundamental of all the laws of mind.
What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your own life. Whether the subject of your thought be good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use atrophies.
The more you think about your grievances or the injustices that you have suffered, the more such trials will you continue to receive; the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you.
This is the basic, fundamental, all-inclusive law of mind, and actually all psychological and metaphysical teaching is little more than commentary upon this. What you think upon grows.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8).
What, in our garden will we grow? Will we till forgiveness into our soil or plow old hurts up into new furrows? Will we sew peace and love or plant anger and resentment? Will we water it with understanding and compassion or sprinkle it with judgement and condemnation? Will we nurture it with faith and hope or poison it with hate and fear? Will we clear the rows with clarity and charity, or ignore the weeds of confusion and selfishness?
The answers to those questions will determine how our gardening will go, how our gardens will grow and the harvest we will know.
Plant well,
Z gardener
