Lead the Field by Earl Nightingale - Lesson 3: Destiny in the Balance & Seed for Achievement

Lesson 3

Destiny in the Balance

A person's world has been compared to a plot of ground. You can water and cultivate the land and be rewarded accordingly, or you can let it fall into abandon with no purpose behind it, surrounded by weeds and debris. It's the same land; it's what you do with it that makes the difference. Stated as a law by the world's greatest minds: Our rewards in life will always match our service; or, "As you sow, so shall you reap." Are you dissatisfied with your rewards? Do you want more out of life? Then examine your service, for it's what you put into the world that will determine what you must get back in return.

Seed for Achievement

What are your unique talents and powers? The search for happiness begins at home If you seek greater happiness, discover who you are, and then begin to fulfill your abilities most completely, which will automatically provide the greatest service to others. Honesty and truthfulness with yourself is the seed of "integrity," and integrity, in turn, is the seed for achievement. Live with integrity every day of your life, give everything you do your very best, and you will live to reap the abundant harvest that will be yours.
