(1) Sow Possibilities.
Make things happen. That’s the simplest way to explain the first stratagem. Instead of nothing, create something. Instead of sitting back, take action. Instead of saying no, say yes - or at least maybe. Always be opening doors and making connections. Don’t just shut down. Create opportunities for yourself and for other people.
I hear a lot of people talking about manifesting intentions nowadays. I see intentions as potential. Focusing your intentions is like plowing a field. You’re preparing the ground for things to grow. But once you have tilled the earth, you have to take it a step beyond that. You have to take action. You have to plant seeds.
Seeds are possibilities: things that could happen if the proper conditions are maintained for their growth. When a farmer sows seeds, he doesn’t expect that every single seed will grow into a fruit-bearing tree {See the Parable of the Mustard Seed}. But he knows that at least some of these possibility-seeds will grow to fruition. He can’t necessarily predict which ones, but that doesn’t matter. All that matters is that he take steps beyond simply focusing his intention: and that all-important first step is sowing the seeds of possibilities. Put another way, passive potential becomes active possibility through initiating cause-effect chains in the world of action.
