Acres of Diamonds
Either heartbreaking or heart warming story.
A man owned a farm but got tired because of slow pace of success coming in, sold the farm and went around to the world to pursue his dreams....unfortunately he lost everything trying to make his dreams come true.
Either you're patient and know how to persevere. To wait and learn from an orchard that it takes a while to be rooted on the ground, that you grow in time, get strong and bear fruits.
The man who bought the farm tilled it patiently, appreciated its stony nature even bringing with him in his altar those stones which he though was beautiful but clueless of its value and worth. Until a Pastor came to their house saw, got struck and recognized the stone. Asked where he got those stones, he proudly showed he got it from the farm he tilled. Voila, they were diamonds and De Beers Diamonds was born.
Sometimes what is given us or where we are is actually a gift that God willed for us but we are restless souls and we can't sometimes see the blessing of where we are. When Abraham was left with the lesser productive land when Lot chose the river banks for his family and pasture, Abraham took it and did not despair for God has has promised that because of his faith he will be prospered more. Lot suffered setbacks, he and his tribe were captured looted and became slaves but of course Abraham came and rescued them.
The element of faith should sustain us even when we thought somewhere is a greener pasture . Because what we have is a gift all we have to do is count our blessings, open our minds and hearts. In life there is always that wanting or longing that somewhere is a greener pasture waiting never realizing that where we are now is as rich as anywhere but then we can see only what we want to see.
We are blinded by our desires for more, a symptom of our poverty mentality, of lack of, continuously TRYING. We do not seem to understand that we are already given what we need...precisely because we are restless souls...
We need to stop, calm down take stock and feel the blessings...absorb it in our system in our souls that our subconscious would know that we have gifts that we are abundant. We have to be conscious of this to initiate a shift or a change.
The state of our minds is the state of our environment We create our environment.. We create our lives because we depend on our own resources (But should be by faith by God) What we think is the content of our minds, what we think is our thoughts, our thoughts become our words, our words become our actions and our actions define our lives.
There you can say life or success is not a geography thing.
We attract what is in our minds no matter where we are. When we found a friendly place to live, made friends, and some job, then must it be that time where the the essence is to let things flow and embrace these blessings. We should let these blessings grow in us deep in our souls and let them attract the same and not dissipate them with our wandering or uncontented hearts and minds.
Weary of the blessings that comes or not ready to receive these blessings, we kicked it out just as it has came in because our mind set is not ready. Wonder why many lotto winners end up poorer after a little time? Why they squandered their wealth so easily as it came. Simple. Poverty mind attracts the same so all the forces and elements come in droves to reinforce it. We must learn to keep, hold sit on and protect the blessings for sometime to feel and absorb the energy to get the confidence that we are no longer in need but have enough. To have an enough feeling translated to thoughts attracts one and the same abundance of blessings. Good luck
