It is common to hear that thoughts are things and that we create our reality through our thoughts. As someone who loves spending time in the garden I have come to notice similarities of gardening and the thought process (what goes on in the mind).
A mentor of mine who is close to my heart has told me how she has struggled with planting seeds that eventually bear yield without dying.
For those who believe that plants have life understand that the intention sets the whole path of the plants success. If one does not communicate and be in the moment of regenerating and or planting seeds of life that will outlive us; one will bring the if's and doubts placed before the task at hand and which will affect the intended outcome.
Below is a picture of a lawn that has been neglected and has burnt and dried out.
With the right ingredients and the right intention the lawn has transformed and is now starting to look green as ever. The power of intention sets you apart from anythyng and everyone
Plants seeds of life, have the right intention and your heart will 
lead you to higher places.
