Live Life Like a Farmer

Live life like a farmer. Everything you do is a seed — every thought, every action, every word.

Plant good seeds. Understand seasons and timing.

Nurture your garden with patience, remove weeds of distraction, and your harvest will come in due time.

Don’t just pluck from trees — plant seeds. Cultivate gardens.

If you don’t cultivate, you will lack later.

Cultivation is hard, but patience with it brings abundance in its season.

Don’t cut corners.

Understand the seed you’re planting — never plant what you don’t want to reap.

How do you know what to plant?

You know yam, rice, or cocoa is good because you eat them, you use them, and others desire them.

That’s how you know what’s worth planting — it benefits both you and others.

But thorns? You hate them yourself, and no one desires them.

So why plant what even you wouldn’t want to harvest?

Be careful what you plant in your garden.

The soil doesn’t judge — it grows whatever you sow.

Even the seeds you regret planting will one day bloom in your yard.

How do I want my garden to be?

I want sweet oranges, bananas, and mangoes.

Roses that look beautiful, watermelons and cucumbers that refresh,

carrots and yams that nourish,

trees to rest under, grasses soft to walk on,

and fine-smelling flowers filling the air.

That’s the kind of life I want to build — fruitful, peaceful, and filled with beauty.

But to have such a garden, I must plant right, weed often, and nurture patiently.

So cultivate your garden carefully.

Every seed has its own time.

Some grow in two months, some in ten years, some take thirty.

If you want to harvest a tree that takes thirty years, you must plant early.

Some seeds take a hundred years — you may not live to see them grow,

but your children will sit under their shade.

Some even take a thousand years — their reward belongs to generations after you.

That’s why wisdom is knowing when to plant, what to plant,

and which seeds are not worth planting at all.

Some plants grow fast and die fast.

Some grow slow and live long.

Some last only six months, and their season ends.

Every seed has its season.

Some must be planted in the rainy season, others in the dry.

Some can only be planted once in a lifetime — miss their season, and it’s over.

Some must be planted when you are young,

because they will not grow in the hands of the old.

And some can only thrive in the hands of the elderly,

because they require patience, wisdom, and calm.

Knowing when to plant is as important as knowing what to plant.

The wrong seed in the wrong season is a wasted effort.

Education and knowledge are seeds that must be planted early.

Discipline and diligence too — plant them while you still have energy and time to nurture them.

If you desire a family, plant that seed while you are young.

Because some seeds only grow in the soil of youth —

when strength, curiosity, and time are still on your side.

Wait too long, and the season may pass.

So, live with awareness.

Choose your seeds wisely.

Respect the seasons of life.

And above all, cultivate your garden carefully.
