Finding & Planting Seeds

‍

"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." — Robert Louis Stevenson

Seeds = Opportunities

‍

Seeds, as a metaphor, can be split into two distinct categories:
1.  Seeds you plant
2. Seeds you find

The seeds you find encompass a vast array of elements such as ideas, phrases, topics, thoughts, and more.

They represent the sparks of inspiration that ignite our creativity and serve as the foundation for our actions.

‍

On the other end of the spectrum, we have the seeds you plant. These seeds are the intentional actions you take to materialize the ideas you've discovered, bringing them to life.

‍

The world is teeming with countless seeds waiting to be found, waiting to be planted. The more seeds you plant, the greater your chances of cultivating something extraordinary.

‍

It's akin to growing the next majestic General Sherman Tree, one of the largest and oldest trees in the world.

‍

The seeds you plant will reveal itself over time.

‍

Just as in nature, placing too much emphasis or dismissing it prematurely will hinder its natural growth and might undermine its entire enterprise.

‍

However, there is an essential factor that determines the fate of these seeds: watering them with focus.

‍

Just like a seed that doesn't receive water, a lack of focus towards your work will cause it to die.

‍

Focus is the nourishment that fuels growth and development.

As you embark on your creative journey, the work will gradually reveal itself.

‍

It unfolds as you go, each step leading to new insights and opportunities.
