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.
