VITAMIN OPTIMISM: Plant Your Seed

Your dose for today…

Think of what you want to plant...and blow (Image: Ken Spencer)

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”

—Robert Louis Stevenson

We talk so often about what we want to get—and I, too, ask you to focus with sheer determination on it. If you can focus on what you want with all your heart, you can have it. But while you ask to reap, look also at what you sow. Did you make someone feel secure about themselves today? Did you make someone smile? Did you feed the seed of someone else’s rough day or lonely night? Think about this, too, when you’re on your next date. Whether you like your date or not, remember that they are also on their own journey to find their half-orange, so don’t just think about what you got or didn’t from the date. Think about what you’re leaving them with, too.

Big love,
