the day you plant the seed
This morning in my meditation practice my mind plucked one of my favorite quotes out of thin air.
And just what I needed to hear.
The day you plant the seed is not the same day you eat the fruit.
I reflected upon the eight billion times I planted the seed and then felt instantly impatient. Like a toddler having a shit fit, I want it now.
I see this so often with friends, students, coaching clients, MYSELF. We launch the offering. We start our business. We decide to make a massive life change - move, parenthood, career shift - but the timing isn’t quite right.
(Cue the waiting.)
This year my focus has been on self development. Big time.
I’ve made some pretty big lifestyle shifts. I’m reading books that challenge me and my perspectives. I’m diving in deeper with my coach. It feels like heavy lifting (and some of it literally is) but it also feels so soul satisfying.
I’m seeing shifts but I also know I’m still planting. And I know that more offerings will be born from it.
But I also know that is not for today.
Ask yourself today what seeds you are planting and what practices might help you slow down enough to watch them grow.
And as I asked last month, and truly every second of my waking life, ——
What is needed now?
