Nurture your dreams

WATER THE SEED OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Every great oak was once a tiny acorn, buried in the earth, that got the opportunity to sprout upon exposure to the right conditions. These are a reflection of your dreams, they are seeds of potential, nestled in the soil of your mind and heart, they have the potential to grow in a manner that might not have been envisaged. Nevertheless, a seed, no matter how strong, cannot grow if it is not watered by efforts tangible, and good enough to cause a sprouting.  

Your expectations, your hopes, your visions of what could be are those seeds. They carry within them the blueprint of your future. Yet, like any living thing, they require nourishment. Doubt is the drought that makes possibilities to wither away, neglect is the unfertile ground where dreams go to die; but faith, and self-belief is the water that softens the ground, dissolves nutrients, to allow the seed to be able to absorb them as needed; while action is the sunlight that facilitates a growing process. Consistency on the other hand is the fertile soil loaded with nutrients.

Every time you affirm, spell out, and announce your vision, you water the seed. Every step you take toward your goal, no matter how small, sends the root of actualisation deeper into reality. Patience is key, for it is your greatest ally, for growth is often silent, unseen, until the day, the green shoot breaks through the surface, needing just some more nurturing to reach for the sky. Watering does not stop until the tree is big enough, strong enough to withstand external pressure, and source its own nutrients.

Do not despise small beginnings. Do not grow weary when results seem slow. The law of harvest is simple, what you nurture, grows. What you ignore, fades. So attend to the seeds of your expectations with care. Water them daily with belief, with effort, and with unwavering focus. There will come a time when you will fully enjoy the fruit of what you have laboured for. Then it will not just hope, you will hold the fruit of what was once only a seed.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
