The story of a Chinese bamboo tree... When you start to make positive changes in your life, it is not easy. You want results right away. When you dont, you easily want to give up. In this regard its worth recalling the story of the Chinese bamboo tree: You take a little seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it for a whole year, and nothing happens. The second year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens. The third year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens. How discouraging this becomes! 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! 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, things will happen. It might take years, but if you are persistent enough, you might have overnight success that others will see. But in your heart, you know the results came from doing the right things over a long period of time. The situation you are in right now is the result of the seeds that you planed 5 years ago. 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 youve always done, youll get the results youve always gotten.
