    Study Notes

    The Harvest Stage

    • The harvest stage is the final stage in a cycle of personal growth, following preparation, planting, and growth.
    • This stage involves reaping the rewards of previous efforts.
    • A clear purpose emerges, expressed simply.
    • Abundance is a hallmark, characterized by giving and receiving. Giving exponentially returns.
    • Benefits to others and the world are produced, turning into seeds for future growth in others.
    • The stages are interconnected; past experiences mold one into a seed, the seed grows, the growth produces a harvest that yields seeds for others.
    • The cycle repeats as others plant and reap, creating a chain of positive impact.
    • A personal harvest benefits others, not just the individual.

    Joshua's Story

    • Joshua, in the harvest stage, faces a decision between two job offers that will facilitate his greater purpose.
    • Both opportunities allow him to make a difference and grow further.
    • He delays his decision, trusting in signs to guide him to the right path.
    • He commits to continue planting seeds, growing, producing a larger harvest, and empowering others.

    The Bigger Purpose

    • Life is purposeful; humanity is designed for relationships.
    • People are here for a reason and have a destiny/purpose, with gifts and talents.
    • Humans make a unique contribution to the world.
    • The purpose of life transcends the individual. It involves serving others: loving, mentoring, creating change.
    • Contribution to something bigger is crucial. Humanity is part of a universe, akin to notes in a symphony, with a universal creator.

    The Importance of Action

    • To achieve a harvest, one must plant (sow seeds) and do the necessary work.
    • Small purpose evolves into a larger purpose with more responsibility (a bigger field to work).
