I heard the coolest story recently.
It’s the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree.
In short, the bamboo seed lies dormant for 5 years and following 5 years of watering, sun and nurturing, it then grows 90 feet in 6 weeks!!
So here is the question and my point of posting about it – does the bamboo tree grow 90 feet in 6 weeks or 90 feet in 5 years??
The answer is obvious – 90 feet in 5 years. To the naked eye, it’s 90 feet in 6 weeks, but what the eye cannot see, is 5 years of watering, sunshine, nurturing and internal strengthening before sprouting.
What can we take away from the bamboo tree? Be patient. Firm up your base. Water your mind and spirit with positive thoughts and a healthy lifestyle. Smile. Start each day with a positive attitude and a positive outlook. Understand that nothing great ever happens overnight.
Try doing all of that for one year – two years – three years and then begin to watch what happens to the world around you.
For today and each day moving forward, let’s be patient, have a positive attitude and believe that greater days are ahead!!
Make the most of today everyone and have a great one!!
