Sowing and Reaping

“You don’t get away with anything. The universe keeps perfect books.” -Jordan Peterson

Sow: To plant

Reap: To harvest.

The Law of Sowing and Reaping are Timeless principles that apply to Every Aspect of Life. In life, every choice is akin to the planting of a seed in the soil of time. Once the seed is planted a result, a reward, or a consequence is inevitable.?

The 7 Principles

You Reap What You Sow

The most fundamental principle: You cannot harvest what you have not planted. Every action is a seed, and what you plant will determine what grows in your life.

You Reap More Than You Sow

A single seed doesn’t produce just one fruit—it multiplies. Similarly, actions, whether good or bad, have second and third order effects extending far beyond that which is initially perceived.

You Reap in a Different Season Than You Sow

There is a germination period—an incubation time—before results appear. Success belongs to those who keep sowing throughout the process.

You Must Nurture What You Sow

Sowing is not enough. A seed must be tilled, protected, and allowed time to grow. Required are discipline, patience, and perseverance.

?You Cannot Change the Past Harvest. You Can Control Future Seeds.

The best way to improve the harvest is through the planting of better seeds.

The More You Sow, the More You Reap

The more good effort, good energy, and good intention invested, the greater the return.

Bad Seeds Produce Bad

Not all seeds lead to a fruitful harvest. Bad intent, negativity, and anger only reap more of the same.

“You cannot sow mischief and expect to harvest blessings.”?- Matshona Dhliwayo
