Law of the Seed
![Page 2: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This is a very good piece of thought.
![Page 3: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Read carefully and relate it to your life.
![Page 4: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Law of the Seed
Take a look at an apple tree. There
might be five hundred apples on the tree and each
apple has ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!
![Page 5: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We might ask, "Why would you need so
many seeds to grow just a few
more apple trees?"
![Page 6: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nature has something to teach
us here.
![Page 7: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It's telling us:
“Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds
never grow”.
![Page 8: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So if you really want to make something
happen, you had better try more than
once."
![Page 9: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
![Page 10: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one
house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or
a business idea
![Page 11: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And you might meet a hundred
acquaintances just to find one special
friend.
![Page 12: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When we understand the "Law
of the Seed", we don't get so
disappointed.
![Page 13: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We stop feeling like victims.
![Page 14: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We learn how to deal with things that
happen to us.
![Page 15: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Laws of nature are not things to take
personally.
We just need to understand them -
and work with them.
![Page 16: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IN A NUTSHELL
Successful people fail more often. But
they plant more seeds.
![Page 17: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When things are beyond your control,
here's something that you must
NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your
life:
![Page 18: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
- You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
![Page 19: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
- You must not make rules for how
everyone SHOULD behave.
![Page 20: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
- Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get
angry!
![Page 21: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
- That's what miserable people
do!
![Page 22: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
On the other hand, let's say you expect
that:
![Page 23: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
-Friends SHOULD return favours.
-People SHOULD appreciate you.
![Page 24: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
-Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
-Everyone SHOULD be honest.
![Page 25: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
- Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
![Page 26: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
These expectations may sound
reasonable. But often, these things
won'thappen!
![Page 27: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So you end up frustrated and disappointed.
![Page 28: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There's a better strategy:
Demand less, and instead, have preferences!
![Page 29: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
For things that are beyond your control,
tell yourself:
![Page 30: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
"I would prefer this, but if that happens,
it’s OK too!"
![Page 31: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
This is really a change in mindset.
It is a shift in attitude, and it gives
you more peace of mind ...
![Page 32: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are
rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine ... but if it rains, it is ok too!
![Page 33: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
To become happier, we either need to:
a) Change the world, or
b) Change our thinking.
It is easier to change our Thinking!
![Page 34: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
IN A NUTSHELL
It is not the problem that is the issue, but
rather it is your attitude attending
to the problem that is the problem.
![Page 35: For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55597193d8b42a65298b4937/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
It's not what happens to you that
determines your happiness.
It's how you think about what happens
to you!
