How does your life compare to the Chinese Bamboo Tree?

How does your life compare to the Chinese Bamboo Tree?


You take a little Chinese Bamboo Tree seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it for a whole year, and nothing happens.

The second year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens

You continue this process for a couple of years and still nothing happens.
This is so frustrating.
You begin to feel discouraged and on the verge of quitting.


The fifth year you continue to water and fertilize the seed.
Sometime during the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo tree spouts and grows 19 feet throughout the next 6 weeks.

Life can be compared to the Chinese bamboo tree…
it is often discouraging.
We seemingly do things right, and nothing happens.

Some of us quit before we reap the rewards.

But for those who do things right, don’t let themselves get discouraged by the voice inside our head or those around us, stay persistent, then things will happen.

Finally we begin to receive the rewards.
