Small Steps Create Big Shifts

I saw my neighbor plant a seed in his yard.

Every single day for four years, he walked out, watered the dirt, and pulled the weeds.

Not a single sprout ever broke through the earth.

Then came the fifth year.

The bamboo shot ninety feet up into the air.

I asked how something could grow ninety feet in six weeks.

He said, "It didn't grow ninety feet in six weeks. It grew ninety feet in five years."
