on being Patient with Persistence … (05/24/12)
“One of my most favorite examples about the power of persistence is the story of an Asian bamboo species that even after five years of watering, weeding and fertilizing is barely visible. Then in a span of about six weeks it grows two and a
half feet a day until it gets to be upwards of 90 feet tall. It grows so fast in that time that you can literally “hear” it growing. The question to ask ourselves, then, is did the bamboo grow 90 feet in six weeks or did it grow 90 feet in five years?” ~ Vic Johnson
The answer, of course, is “YES!” …
Even though you might not think you are ready to let your True Self shine, rest assured that your True Self is indeed Ready – and that it will sprout forth jubilantly the instant you summon it.
Your ego will tell you that you still have lots to learn before stepping out on the Path to Peace. The Truth of the matter is, you have already been “in the ground” for quite long enough … It is time to sprout who you truly Are — it is time to grow forth powerfully, by being Kind when least inclined!
