You take a little bamboo seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it for a while...and nothing happens.
In the second year, you water it, fertilize it...and nothing happens.
In the third year, you water it, fertilize it...and nothing happens.
How discouraging can it become.
In the fourth year, you water it, fertilize it...and still nothing happens. This is very frustrating.
In the fifth year, you continue to water and fertilize the seed.....and then sometimes during the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo tree begins to sprout.
In the Far East, there is a tree called the Chinese bamboo tree. This remarkable tree is different from most trees in that it doesn’t grow in the usual fashion. While most trees grow steadily over a period of years, the Chinese bamboo tree doesn’t break through the ground for the first four years. Then, in the fifth year, an amazing thing happens – the tree begins to grow at an astonishing rate. In fact, in a period of just five weeks, a Chinese bamboo tree can grow to a height of 90 feet. It’s almost as if you can actually see the tree growing before your very eyes.
Life often works in a similar way. You can work for weeks, months and even years on your dream with no visible signs of progress and then, all of the sudden, things take off.
Keep watering your bamboo tree !!!
