It's worth a watch, very applicable to carrying on despite horrible circumstances.

He's an excellent narrator isn't he. I always think that a humorous approach is the best way of putting a message across. Keep sewing those seeds Ben. x
Listened to it but I'm bit boggled and confused. Think he's saying you have to KEEP ON TRYING ? I do try but blimey it's SO HARD and so much of the stuff I'm told must do is stupid.
And he says leave some things because 'that's the way they are' but if we all did that then nothing would ever get better! I know it's VERY tricky to decide what to put our energy into, what is MOST important to us. Me, I try to do too much because trying to be how I was and think must try use some of my time on earth to try make it better than how I find it.
PLUS all the daily stuff MUST try do = too much = breakdown, crying, depression and heart thumping-exhausted.
So HOW to know WHICH things to do when they ALL need doing and I can't? Others delegate if can, I try to (get help) but fail.
I need all sorted and peace after all my effort but never get there, it's like running up the down escalator and can't run fast enough so keep ending back at bottom. Soul destroying, exhausting and makes me feel a failure. Not my fault: they should build the UP escalator and FAST: a HUGE omission, did they 'forget' or done on purpose?!
I won't ever (I think) sew enough 'good seed' but if we all sew as much as we can then SOME must grow. Together we can achieve far more than singly: be a stronger and louder voice and all help each other do the best we can.
Or have I totally missed the point? I often do, not my fault.
Oh and forgot: like the lottery you have the same chance of winning every time, the odds don't change. How does that equate to 'keep trying' if the odds you'll achieve never get better?
But in real life, yes, if you sow enough good seed SOME will grow but then must be nurtured and cared for to thrive. WE need that care, compassion and nurturing too but so hard to give/get!
Errm, we're supposed to LEARN from mistakes, think up clever creative 'solutions' but what if/when we can't? = STUCK and remain stupid/a failure. Try different tactics and they too fail?
How LONG is it not crazy to keep trying? Can others see solutions we can't?
Please enlighten me!
Lost me when it talked about seed, I have been circumcised!
Didn't remember this when I came out of hospital, and was searching the house for contraceptives, eventually asked my wife, and she told me I have been a Jaffa for 10 years!
Jafa?
SEEDLESS!
Ah, thanks for Jaffa info! Think you mean sterilised?! Might also have been circumcised though...
