A little over two years ago, my wife and I moved into our home. It was, at the time, two years old and had 4 trees. In the back was a Bradford Pear and two Silver Leaf Maple trees. In the front was another Bradford Pear.
Bradford Pears are beautiful however they tend to grow very quickly and thus are not strong in the long run. I have seen large trunks break off in moderate winds.
One of the Maple trees was planted too deep and just struggled to survive. It would be the last to get its few leaves and the first to drop them. Because I favored the Maple trees, I decided to dig up and give away the Bradford Pears and to relocate the ailing Maple to the front yard.
Over two years, I can look back at just how much those trees have grown and just how well they are doing now. Slow consistent progress and they are much healthier!
Even once established, they still need some care. It occurred to me that while I might not have seen the growth day to day, if I do not care for them, if I do not give some of my energy to creating prosperity, they will not grow. If I did not provide water it wouldn't take long to see a change.
Providing that environment for growth is much like setting your intentions for your goals. Just a little each day will keep them growing. Remember, "Set meaningful goals in all areas of your life and pursue them with consistent flexible action."
BE Amazing!
