Take The Leap The Thought A. The Ground We all have untapped potential residing in us. It’s there waiting to nourish whatever is deposited in us. We have the rich soil that can birth everything from music to art, to architecture and engineering, and so much more. We become fertile field right for the planting.

Most of the time, when travel agencies want to catch your attention, they use pictures of tropical places with emerald waters. They show you a beachside getaway. Now there’s nothing wrong with getting away for a while; in fact, as I’m writing this, I wish I had one planned right now.

But when it comes to growing anything worthwhile, you don’t go to the beachside villa, you look for the fertile, rich, dark soil where you can grow stuff necessary to sustain life.

When we consider that we have this level of the rich ground to be planted into, then we will be more careful about what seeds we allow to enter in.

B. The Seed I remember the movie Inception, where someone figured out a way to invade another’s dream and make suggestions that the person would think were their own thoughts. The concept was ingenious and brought about a boatload of possibilities of what could be done by planting a thought.

You know, life has so many different roads one can take. From staying single to getting married, or from going to a four-year college to learning a trade, we have so many options to choose from. Sometimes, things are chosen for us; others we choose ourselves. But where does that seed of thought come from? Some children think of being a policeman, fireman, or doctor after a career day. They do this because of what is presented to them on that day.
