1. “Garden of the Mind:”
The mind is a garden; a fertile field just waiting for you to plant the crops that
will feed life’s journey. Seeds go in a garden. Words, phrases and beliefs
planted in your mind become a part of who you are and what you will become.
Plant a bean and harvest multiple beans. It is the same in your mind.
Planting negative thoughts and beliefs will produce a negative life crop.
Planting positive beliefs and
attitudes in our hearts and
thoughts will encourage crops
and actions rich in life’s
possibilities. We will feed our
minds and hearts and nourish
those we come in contact with.
“When you sow an action, you
reap a habit; when you sow a
habit, you reap a character; and
when you sow a character, you
reap a destiny.”‐ Zig Ziglar
Teachers help children grow to
their full potential. I love to work
with teachers because they are
our children’s gardeners helping to cultivate self‐concepts, beliefs and
opinions.
Your children and coworkers look to you as a role model, which makes each of
you a special teacher‐gardener. Responsible role models have learned there is
a difference between knowledge and wisdom. Sharing wisdom gained in life’s
garden is a great way to cultivate a future for your children. So share the
bounty of your harvest.
