<Quick Quote>

At some point, we all face major challenges: the loss of Job, a broken relationship. An illness – that easily could bury us in despair. Negative thoughts can overpower you at such times, bombarding your mind, telling you, ‘it’s Over. You’ve seen your best days. Your fortune is tainted. Your life is ruined’.
Yet there is a difference between being buried and planted. The difference boils down to your expectation of what happens next. When you put a seed in the ground, you don’t say ‘I’m burying this seed’. You say. ‘I’m planting this seed’. The difference is that when you plant a seed, you expect to see it rise again and come back to life.
