What will you do if you're at the lower point in your life?
When you did your best but nothing seems to go according to your plan, everything just got messed up in every possible way and you couldn't find the strength to stand up?
A friend of mine shared this with me during my toughest time in life, it struck me hard then and even today and I hope it helps you as well.=)
You take a little seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it for a whole year, nothing happens.
The second year you water it and fertilize it, yet nothing happens.
The third year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens. How discouraging this becomes!
The fourth year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens. This is very frustrating.
The fifth year you continue to water and fertilize the seed and then… take note. Sometime during the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo tree spouts and grows NINETY FEET IN SIX WEEKS.
In today's Microwave Society, many people tend to give up when they don't see immediate result. Bamboo takes four-years to grow 3 cm per year. But yet at the beginning of the fifth year, they grow at a crazy rate of 30 cm per day, In this sprinting period using just six weeks of time it can grow up to 15 meters.
Actually, what happened is during the 1st 4 years the Bamboo has planted their roots in the soil and extend them to hundreds of meters, laying a rock solid foundation for success!
Keep Pressing On!
In order to live a successful and purpose driven life, One need go through trial, hard work, and correction to set the foundation for success.
Those people who are willing to endure will seize their glory!
