Everything you want is in a seed
The "Be. Do. Have." Framework
The gap between where you are and where you want to be comes down to two things:
Knowledge
Action
Today, knowledge is everywhere.
You can learn anything—on YouTube, in blogs, or through AI tools.
From Siberia, you could take courses from Harvard or Yale.
We’re not short on knowledge; we’re drowning in it.
The real challenge isn’t what to learn—it’s knowing what to focus on and taking consistent, purposeful action.
But here’s the rub:
What sustains action when results are slow? When applause is faint?
Remember Picasso? He painted 47,000 works of art.
Only 106 are masterpieces.
Why was he so consistent?
Because he had to.
It wasn’t about fame or perfection—it was about who he was. He didn’t try to be a painter; he simply was a painter.
And that’s the secret.
Sustained action flows from identity.
I once received advice that changed me:
“Don’t try to look like a man of God. Just be one.”
It’s WHO not HOW!
Your actions, your persistence—they grow from your seed, the essence of who you are.
When you know your seed, the struggle eases.
When your doing flows from your being, it’s no longer a grind. It’s lifegiving.
So stop asking:
“What can I do? or How can I have X?”
Start asking:
What could I do endlessly, joyfully, without losing steam?
What feels so natural that not doing it would feel wrong?
What do others say I’m uniquely good at?
What fruit am I already producing effortlessly?
These questions reveal your seed.
An apple seed doesn’t strive to become an orange tree. It grows into what it’s meant to be. And in the right conditions, it bears fruit—naturally, abundantly, in due season.
That’s how fruit works.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply;
Multiply what? Fruit.
Fruit is always a reflection of its originating seed.
Apples come from apple seeds. Oranges come from orange seeds.
So what’s your seed?
What do you see when you look into His eyes? (hint: it is not your job title or career)
In future posts, I’ll help you uncover it. But for now, take a moment to ask yourself—and ask Him: Who am I?
