Chinese Bamboo Tree
I like the story of the Chinese bamboo tree:
You take a little seed, plant it, water it every other days , and fertilize it for a whole year, and nothing happens.
The second year you water it every other days and fertilize it for the whole year , and nothing happens.
The third year you water it every other days and fertilize it, the whole year and nothing happens. How discouraging this becomes!
The fourth year you water it every other days , fertilize it, the whole year and nothing happens . You almost gave up !.
The fifth year you continue to water and fertilize the seed and then---take note.
Sometime during the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo tree sprouts and grows NINETY FEET IN SIX WEEKS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question is, did it grow 90 feet in six weeks or five years? The answer is simple, it grew 90 feet in five years.
The moral to the story is also simple.
IF, during that five years, SOMEONE would have GIVEN UP on the Chinese Bamboo tree, IF SOMEONE would have stopped watering, stopped fertilizing, stopped protecting the tree, there would be no tree to climb.
Life is much akin to the growing process of the Chinese bamboo tree.
It is often discouraging. We seemingly do things right, and nothing happens.
But for those who do things right and are not discouraged and are persistent, things will happen. Finally we begin to receive the rewards.
I am now receiving the rewards of seeds that were planted 5 years ago. You are as well. Are you getting the results you want? If not, begin today to sow the seeds of what you want 5 years from now.
Remember, if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll get the results you've always gotten.
