Have you ever felt like it is taking ages to realize your dreams. I should tell you a great story.
I love stories because they help illustrate deep truths about life. Here is a nice and true story about the Chinese bamboo tree.
It is said that the seed of a Chinese bamboo tree takes 5 years to germinate. In the first year, you plant the seed, water and add fertilizer but no germination takes place. In the second, third and fourth years, the same thing happens...more water and more fertilizer yet no germination.
In the fifth year, the seedling comes out and in 6 weeks, it grows into a height of 90 feet. Wow!
The question: When did the seed start germinating? A quick answer: The first day you started the watering and fertilization activities. What if you stopped watering and fertilization mid way? The result - the seed dies.
That's what happens to our dreams. You have to water and nourish them every day even when the results are not coming. You can't give up mid way - it is suicidal to your dreams. Keep watering and nourishing your dreams and who knows...in a time that is not too far, the reality comes out and it both amazing and life-changing.
Key phrase: You have to remain patient in the process of realizing your dreams. Nothing happens overnight. But when it finally happens, you will be like a man or woman who has woken up from a dream only to realize it was the reality.
