Why You’re Not Getting the Fruit You Desire in Life
The Strange Case of the Mango Tree
One morning, a tired man decided to rest under a big mango tree. While he was asleep, a ripe mango fell on his lap. Startled, he woke up, looked at the fruit, and frowned.
Why? Because he hated mangoes.
Instead, he loved oranges. In frustration, he thought, “Why is it always my bad luck? I keep getting what I don’t want, but never what I truly love.”
Sounds familiar?
Most of us live this same story in different forms. We complain about the “fruits” life throws at us — the results, circumstances, and outcomes that don’t match our desires.
But here’s the twist: is it really life’s fault?
Is It the Tree’s Mistake?
Think about it — if you sit under a mango tree, you can’t expect oranges. The tree isn’t wrong. The roots decide what fruit grows.
Life works the same way. If you want different results (the oranges), you can’t just sit under the wrong tree and pray. You need to plant the right seed first.
Your Thoughts Are Seeds
Whatever you seed in your mind eventually grows into fruit in your life.
- Plant mango seeds → you get mangoes.
- Plant orange seeds → you get oranges.
Simple, right? Yet many people complain about outcomes they never consciously planted for.
The truth: your thoughts are seeds. Your life is the fruit.
The Four Roots That Shape Your Life
If you really want to change your outer world, you must dig into the roots of your inner world. These roots exist in four layers:
- Spiritual – Your faith, higher connection, and values.
- Mental – The quality of your thoughts and beliefs.
- Emotional – How you handle feelings, stress, and relationships.
- Physical – Your environment, habits, and associations.
Change the root, and the fruit will follow. Ignore the root, and you’ll keep receiving the same unwanted results.
Why “Being Spiritual” Alone Isn’t Enough
Some people say, “I meditate, I pray, I’m very spiritual. Why am I still not seeing results?”
Because spirituality alone is not the full tree.
If your mental seeds are negative, if your emotional state is fragile, or if your physical environment is toxic, the fruits will still be bitter.
Even your associations — the people around you — act like soil. Negative soil ruins even the best seeds.
The Conscious Choice You Must Make
Every single thought you hold is a seed. Every emotion you nurture waters that seed. Every habit you practice is sunlight or shade.
So ask yourself:
- Am I planting the seeds of the fruits I truly desire?
- Or am I standing under the wrong tree, hoping for a miracle?
Final Word: Plant the Right Tree
Life is not about luck. It’s about planting the right tree.
If you want oranges, plant orange seeds.
If you want peace, sow peaceful thoughts.
If you want abundance, plant seeds of abundance in your mind, emotions, and daily practices.
The fruits you see tomorrow are born from the seeds you plant today.
So, what seeds are you planting right now? 🍊✨
