If you plant perseverance, you will reap victory. If you plant consideration, you will reap harmony. If you plant hard work, you will reap success.

If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation. If you plant openness, you will reap intimacy.

If you plant patience, you will

reap improvements. If you plant faith, you will reap miracles.

But, if you plant dishonesty,

you will reap distrust. If you

plant selfishness, you will reap

loneliness.

If you plant pride, you will reap destruction. If you plant envy, you will reap trouble.

If you plant laziness, you will reap stagnation. If you plant bitterness, you will reap isolation.

If you plant greed, you will reap loss. If you plant gossip, you will reap enemies.

If you plant worries, you will reap wrinkles. If you plant sin, you will reap guilt.

It will determine what you will

reap tomorrow.

The seeds you now scatter, Will make life worse or better, your life or the ones who will come after. Yes, someday, you will enjoy the fruits, or you will pay for the choices you plant today.
