The sower goes out to sow the seed, but the first part of the seed falls by the wayside and the birds get it.
The birds are going to get some
Now when the birds get some, you’ve got two options. Number one is to chase birds
Here’s what happens if you go chasing birds. You leave the field. If you go chasing birds now, you leave the field.
The sower kept on sowing. See, that was the secret to his success.
The sower now keeps sowing the seed. Now the seed falls, the story says, on rocky ground where the soil is shallow. And the rocky ground where the soil is shallow is not of your making, because you had excellent seed and you were an ambitious sower.
So the rocky ground where the soil is shallow is not of your making. But here what it says happened. This time, the little seed that falls in the ground starts to grow and the little plant starts to grow. But the first hot day, it withers and dies. Not an easy thing to watch
The hot weather is going to get some. And this is not of your making. Here’s what you must say when that happens. What can you do? The answer is nothing.
Now, here is the secret to the ambitious sower with good seed. It said he kept on sowing.
Now, here’s what he had to do to keep on sowing. He had to discipline his disappointment. This is a key phrase now to use for the rest of your life. You must learn to discipline your disappointment. Because you didn’t set up the set up, and some are not going to stay, and that is not of your making.
Now the little seed falls on thorny ground and now the little plant starts to grow again but as the little plant starts to grow, the thorns choke it to death and it dies.
The thorns are going to get some. And that’s not of your making.
The sower now keeps on sowing the seed. Finally the seed falls on good ground. Finally the seed falls on good ground. It always will, if you keep sowing.
Some of the good ground did 30%. And some of the good ground did 60%. And some of the good ground did 100%.
Now how can you get to do more of 100%? Keep on sowing..
