There is nothing in the universe that you cannot do or be if you are mentally ready. People speak of golden opportunities but what we call opportunity is really our own mental readiness. Napoleon said, “Opportunities? I make opportunities”; and while this would be merely a vainglorious boast for one who is not on the spiritual basis, yet when you do understand the Truth of Being, it is simply a statement of fact.
Supply the necessary mental condition, and the demand, the opportunity, or the occasion, will present itself automatically.
Whenever you are ready you will find that everything else is ready too.
Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is (Mark 13:33).
What are doing today that prepares us mentally for achieving our dreams, for communion with God and for peace, joy and gladness. What thoughts and feelings are we planting in our mental gardens? What present life are we living and what future are we envisioning?
Supplying the necessary mental conditions is like tilling, fertilizing and planting seeds in our gardens. When we plant faith, hope, peace and love; that is what we reap when our harvest matures. When we obey God’s will, it is like planting and harvesting according to nature. We do not plant in the winter nor harvest in the spring.
Let us take heed, watch and pray to God so that our gardens become the Eden God created for us. Then, anything that is for our best good will be possible.
Planting goodness,
Z gardener
