But

If you plant dishonesty, you will reap distrust.

If you plant selfishness, you will reap loneliness.

If you plant pride, you will reap destruction.

If you plant envy, you will reap trouble.

If you plant laziness, you will reap stagnation.

If you plant bitterness, you will reap isolation.

If you plant greed, you will reap loss.

If you plant gossip, you will reap enemies.

If you plant worries, you will reap wrinkles.

If you plant sin, you will reap guilt.

So be careful what you plant now.  It will determine what you will reap tomorrow.  The seeds you now scatter will make life worse or better, your life or the ones who will come after.  Yes, someday you will enjoy the fruits, or you will pay for the choices you plant today.

Plant today what will bring you a bright future – for the seeds of today tell the future of tomorrow.

Here’s to making the most of your tomorrows!
