#4 Harvest
In due time and for those who qualify and obey this extraordinary law that says : Life was not designed to give you what you need, life was designed to give you what you deserved.”

If you didn’t plant in the spring, than no harvest comes your way. If you plant little, then you’re not gonna receive a lot. And here is the key now for the harvest :

#1 Whatever it is, Offer No Complain And No Apology. If the fantastic harvest you offer no apology, if it’s not much, you offer no complain. That’s the highest of MATURITY, no apology, no complain. (I am still learning this stuff) Here is what you can do no matter what it is : Go back to work in the spring because SPRING ALWAYS FOLLOWS WINTER. If the harvest wasn’t good and the winter was tough, the promise is ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY WILL COME YOUR WAY.

#2 Do Wise Things With Your Harvest. Build your financial security for you and your family on the ROCK not on the sand. There is so many things now you can do, about gathering resources and wisely investing them so you and your family are secure. Here is one thing to strive to become early in your life and career : FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT. (I'll write it later on). So that nobody or nothing has a claim on your asset. Accomplish as quickly as you can.

I found this suggestion : DON’T BUY THE SECOND UNTIL YOU BOUGHT THE SECOND HOUSE.

It’s not car that makes you rich. It’s houses that make you rich. Hmm? :-) Read More...

#3 SUMMER.

In the summer, you must do two major things :

(1) Nourish and give life like a mother.

(2) Protect and defend like a father.

This is call the work of summer. Give life like a mother, take life like a father. Love like a mother, hate like a father. Any father would say “Whatever threat this family, take two more steps to this family you’ll seize to exist.” So you got to nourish your garden, then you got to protect it, by fighting the weeds, and the bugs, and others can destroy it. A soon you’ve planted, the busy weeds, bugs will out to take it.

And THEY WILL TAKE IT, unless you are streamly father like. You have to develop a hate for evil. The old prophet said “Love good and hate evil” because those twin forces are will work always." Even in the beginning of the beginnings, Lucifer, according the story teller try to take over God’s throne didn’t succeed and so began the story of the Creator and the Spoiler. And so exist for all of us, there is a great drama of the ability to create that destroyer not to far away.

Next is : “IT SEEMS LIKE OPPOSITE ARE IN CONFLICT AND WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE.” Evil on one side, good on the other side. Illness on one side, good health on the other side, darkness on on side, light on the other side. If you walk in the room that’s dark and turn on the light, the dark disappears and goes away. How far away does it go? NOT VERY FAR !! Waiting for the chance to comeback in, move in, take over the territory, as light began to lose its energy, darkness move in. There is a war on it.

As you sit there, good health plan is trying to defeat illness and drive it into small corner. If you don’t work on your good health plan, illness will drive your health into a small corner. In your blood stream, there are red corpuscles to nourish like mother and white corpuscles to fight and kill like a father. Thanks God for white corpuscles that think negative all day J White corpuscles say “Just show me some infection, I’ll kill it ! Because if I don’t kill it, It kills you! It’s my job today that make sure you don’t get killed. So I’m here to FIGHT !” Red to nourish, white to fight.

So here is the key now, “COOPERATE WITH THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THESE WAR OF HEALTH AND ILLNESS.” What if in the struggle the body calls for the banana and you send it a Coca-cola?? And now the body has the right to say “Whose side are you on??” I’m working day and night to drive illness to those small corner and keep you healthy and you keep sending me the wrong stuff. Come on just a little cooperation here and we can win this game !!!”

Interesting story in the Bible says, there are sheep, shepherd, and wolves. Ordinary story huh? There are also some wolves that have learned to dress up like sheep. Now you need a woman ! HaHaHa. Man says, looks like a sheep, talk like a sheep, woman says : It ain’t no sheep!! Here is what it’s call, HIGH DRAMA, nourishing and protecting, nourishing with one hand and protecting with the other hand. Even at the battle of the mind. DON’T BECOME A VICTIM OF YOURSELF. In this battle of the mind, should I? shouldn’t I? let it go? no don’t let it go? run the red light? no, be a little more cautious, think of your family. See we have to continually to do this.

#2 SPRING.

The definition is OPPORTUNITY. Spring is not a guarantee that you gonna have a harvest, but it’s an opportunity to plant one, it not a guarantee that things are gonna well, and you will accumulate what you need. But it’s an opportunity to do so. Spring time is opportunity. So here is you must do with opportunity, SEIZE IT QUICKLY. Don’t let it come and go. Take advantage of the spring, such a short season. Take advantage of opportunity, for your future career. Take advantage of the day when it arrives, because the day will soon finish. Take advantage of the year because it will soon close.

#1 WINTER

I don’t know where you caught you in the day, maybe it’s spring for you, maybe it’s summer your though day, maybe it’s harvest your cash in. Personal winter, social winter, economic winter, there is a variety. So what about the winter?

IT ALWAYS COME !

So you got to be prepared. Hopefully you’ve done your homework. You’re ready in prepared for this winter more than you were some others that have coming for your less prepared. From the Bible story (I’m amateur on Bible) but here is what the story teller says : “There were two nice people (not one good and one evil), however, and that is the drama of life, one built his house on the rock, and the other built his house in the sand. TWO NICE PEOPLE.

Meaning it’s possible for nice people to be casual, careless. Sometime you can be careless and lose your life (smoke??), just careless. In your car if you in the intersection street when the lights turn green, you’re better not go. For two or three seconds, waiting for the maniacs that are running at red light, crossing in front of you, even though the light is green. That little extra bit of caution, rather than being aggressive, could barely save your life.
You don’t have to go Iraq to lose your life, you don’t have to evil to lose your life. All you have to be is a little careless at unfortunate moment.

When I was growing up there is cartoon of a little boy, and it’s show this a little boy with a little devil on one shoulder and a little angel on the other shoulder, both whispering in his ear, and the little devil said, “go a ahead and do it, it’ll be okay” and the little angel says “no..no..no..no, it won’t be okay.” How often this occur to all of us?

EVERY DAY !!

The same is true with your health, don’t build on the sand (the same is true with your career, being in business), BUILD ON THE ROCK. Because even nice people can make careless decisions that it accumulate over a period of time. And those could be the winter.

Now here is next : “Some winter are of your making, some are not.” Some are just the winter experiences, maybe the whole country goes through it. It was along time of winter for the Indonesia in 1997 (Asia region). Long winter of political despair, lack of freedom.

But what’s the key to the winter?

Here is this in simple language : “HANGING THERE.” I mean you know, winters don’t last forever, some are difficult, some are easy, but they never last forever. The night always come after the day, but it doesn’t last forever, just a few more hours. And if you hanging there, say your prayers, gather a little strength, you can make it through the winter and the night. Read More...
