You reap what you sow-conditions,emotions or circumstances that you create for others will come back to you multiplied.When I first set out in business,I was young,unwise and prideful.By nature,I'm a driven person and build strong relationships.Then a leadership consultant said to me,Roger,you get a lot done,but you don't see the dead bodies scattered all around you.Hidden in her message was what I had sown.To the outside world,I did not love people and I saw them as obstacles to my goals.I sowed a lot of poison 30 years ago,but then I changed.However,some of the seeds were still in the ground,and it took a while to work through what I had sown all those years before.The difficulty in working with this law of nature is that we don't see the results immediately,and this makes it easy to miss the connection between the two.If sowing and reaping were like touching a hot iron,we would be more sensitive to our behavior toward others.
