Too often, we are concerned with the results.
We measure our days, quarters, years in numbers.
We count the apples, so to speak.
Sometimes we forget that there would be no harvest without tending to the seeds, the efforts, the process, the journey.
The numbers are important. They are a way to see where we are at that moment in time. But they don’t tell the whole story.
Unless, we are hoping the story ends there (boring and finite).
No we forget that our efforts, our imaginations, our work ethic, our vision for the future and the connections we have and create with others will determine the bounty of future harvests.
It is impossible to precisely tell what the yield we be from our efforts.
But the key is to keep tending to the seeds, and to enjoy the journey.
Count the fruit, sure, but then get busy tending to the process :-).
Have a bountiful seed-planting Tuesday!
