Tina, my friend’s 3 year old daughter was wailing and crying away to glory! She was just unstoppable. Her mother Lisa, a close friend of mine, was trying every possible trick to talk to her, to convince her that everything was all right. But…!! Tina had closed all channels, she was not listening at all! She was just unstoppable!

I inquired from Lisa about the issue. Hiding her smile what she told me had me in splits for a few seconds. Wondering what was it that made Tina howl and cry?

Well, Tina by mistake had eaten a few seeds of an apple and now from a story that she was told in her play school, she was very sure a tree will grow in her tummy and soon in the future, apples will start oozing out from her mouth 🙂 🙂

Though initially I did laugh out on the thought but soon I started appreciating the power of imagination of her little mind!

My mind went into a quest thinking about anything that once taken as a seed can actually literally grow and become bigger and stronger within us! Just like the tree gives fruits, what fruits can come from these seeds?

Any guesses, what it is?

Yes, my friend! You guessed it right! It is indeed my personal favorite “Positivity”!

Just imagine, once the seeds of positivity are sown within us, what a splendid human being we will become! Ideally this should be done at a young age or more so, while we are still children! When our thoughts are positive right from the foundation level, we will be able to see the brighter side of things, even when the things are not happening as per our plan, right?

But its never too late!

How about sowing the seed of positivity within us today?

Patience is the key here! We all understand that a seed does not turn into a tree overnight! It needs constant nourishment and tender care to grow. And then there is hope that one day it will surely turn into a full fledged tree!

Positivity, love, happiness, hope, motivation, encouragement, tenderness, warmth, empathy, etc. etc. Awww…. thinking about what fruits this tree can bear actually gives me goosebumps!!

I wish I could console Tina with this explanation and make her smile but I am afraid she is too young to understand but how about us?

For a moment, be as childlike as my little Tina and create this vision, do the act of planting the seed and feel the power! Wow! imagining this, I literally felt the saplings of positivity in me growing gradually and I have hope that one day a tree will surely stand! Believe me, give it a try! it is totally worth the effort!

Have you wondered that most of the times, when things don’t happen our way, trust me they are not always wrong, they are just different. When we have a positive approach, we will have a receiving mind that will allow us to accept circumstances resulting in abundance of happiness, smiles and contentment.

Let us try to inspire our children, our partners, our friends and peers to also sow their seeds soon, so we can look forward to creating a great positive environment full of happiness and smiles all around. Can you help me please? Believe me, if not today, someday when Tina understands all this, she will be very happy and thankful to us for taking inspiration from her story in creating a better tomorrow for her and for all of us:)
