I recently read a post on social media that said, "the last thing to grow on a fruit tree is the fruit". I immediately began visualizing the trees on my property and felt a rush of inspiration.
I thought to myself, "it's true!"
I instantly saw the parallel to my life.
All the work I did on myself, including counseling, crying, and confusion was worth it.
Look at the fruit I am harvesting now.
Suddenly faces of kids I had mentored came to mind.
Many of them are now parents, college graduates, and happy.
Worth every hour of time invested.
While I am not where I want to be in life, my patience has been renewed.
Fruit takes time. But what a sweet reward the awaits.
(Don't forget fruit bears seeds that continue to reproduce long after the fruit is gone)
Lightbulb Moments! Enjoy the process.
