Do Not Eat Your Seeds

A seed is the small hard part produced by a plant, from which a new plant can grow. Without the seed, there is no way a new plant can come forth with exception to those crops whose branches can be planted. Seeds are small physically but play a huge role in the life of the plants and they play a huge role in determining if a particular plant would grow or not. If the seed is infected, there is no way that plant would grow, even if it grows, it would also be infected.

The farmer knows the value of his seeds so he does not eat them. He knows that if he does so, he would have nothing to sow in the next season. He ensures that he stores the seed in a place where they would not be affected by insects. This is how invaluable the seed is to the farmer. He would never eat his seeds even when he is hungry. He knows that his seeds are his assets.

Do you want to be wealthy? Follow me.

It’s a very good thing to desire to be wealthy. It’s amazing but desiring to be wealthy is not enough. You need to work out your desire to become a reality. Your desire won’t become anything of value if you don’t work it out.

Are you eating your seeds financially? This is a personal question. This question requires a deep inward reflection. After getting your salary or allowances, do you spend everything or save some? Financial Experts recommend that we save at least 10% of our income no matter how little the amount is. The beauty of it comes forth when it is done continuously over a long period of time. The money saved would continue to grow as long as the person keeps living on 90% of his income and saving 10%. This 10% should be kept and should not be spent at all cost because they are your seeds. If possible, transfer them to a fixed deposit account or your PiggyVest account.

After saving 10% over a long time and the amount of money has become huge, it’s very important to invest. Look for people of expertise to seek advice on when and where to invest because investment choice most times are technical to make.

Even though the seeds the farmer has are not much, he knows that when he plants in the due season, he would harvest 100 times of what he planted. The same thing happens when you invest in the right place and at the right time. You end up reaping bountifully financially.
Never underestimate what saving the 10% of your income can do for you even though developing the habit of saving may look difficult when you start out. Fortunately, when it is done consistently, you would get used to it. If you find it difficult to save, start from somewhere. You can start saving 1% of your income, then move to 5%, then move to 10%.
