Sow Discipline, Reap Multiple Rewards


If you discipline your efforts in whatever you desire to pursue, you will reap multiple rewards.
We have talked about the universal law of sowing and reaping in the past, but today we want to dig a little deeper.

When an apple seed is sown, you do not reap just one apple, but bushels of them.  When you plant one tomato seed, you reap many tomatoes.  This same principle applies when you are fair, honest and generous.  If that is what you sow, your reward will be multiplied.  If you give more than you expect to receive, then you will get much more than you expected.  If you give people value, you will reap much more value.

It seems quite simple and so we may wonder why more people don’t sow more of what they want to reap.  I believe the main reason is discipline!

It takes constant daily effort to discipline yourself.  You must discipline your thoughts, your attitude and your actions.  If you fail to do so, you fail to sow good seed that will produce a multiple fold crop.

What daily disciplines are you engaging in?  Do you discipline yourself with your time?  Do you plan it wisely?  Do you arrive on time? (Early is on time.  On time is late!)  Do you value other people’s time?  Do you spend time with those you love?

Are you learning and practicing the discipline of paying it forward, paying your taxes, paying yourself and paying attention?

Are you learning the discipline of reading all the books you can (that bring value)?  Are you disciplining yourself with learning all that you can learn?  Are you disciplining yourself to teach all that you have to teach?

Are you disciplining yourself to invest, in yourself, in your continuing education, in others, and in your future?

Remember the law:  For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards!

Likewise, if you neglect discipline, there will be a price to pay too.  Everything affects everything else, whether good or bad.

New and self-imposed disciplines are what will get you going, keep you going and get you to where you want to go.  


What areas in your life need the most attention right now?  How do you need to discipline what you are sowing in these areas?  Are you just getting started or are you on the verge of quitting? 

Don’t wait for someone else to impose discipline upon you.  Impose it upon yourself!

Your life and mine will either serve others as a warning or an example.  A warning of the results of an undisciplined life, or an example of the fruits of a disciplined life.  The Bible tells us to take a look at the field of a lazy man.  When people look at your "fields", what do they see?  What do you want them to see?
